The Following information was posted on the LCF Articles.com by Pat Sharkey and reproduced here about Round the Mountain Venues.
Artisan studio after studio-hand-made instruments, pottery, glass, stunning furniture and lamps, designed clothing and more




In just a 4-county area of Floyd, Carroll, Patrick and Franklin counties, there are already over 40 businesses that have joined Round the Mountains Artisan Trails-many are private artisan studios; art centers, galleries, museums and country stores; farms w/meats and produce, flowers and hand-spun yarns, homemade meads, wines and cider




You can find your way to Border Springs Farm where the sheep all have names and the dogs all have jobs or visit Mountain Meadow Craft & Farm Market. Gather a few lilies at meadow Creek Farm or home-spun yarns and hand-made weavings at Peaceful Heart Alpacas and Greenberry House. As you meander across county lines and time, a big decision to choose how many of the wineries, cider or mead farms you can possible visit in one day-Villa Appalaccia, Chateau Morrisette, Blacksnake Meadery and Foggy Ridge Cider.




Stay overnight in an antique caboose at Grassy Creek Cabooses or in the beautifully-built Oak Haven Lodge-Now you can take the next day to wander through galleries and art centers-Jacksonville Center, Bell Gallery, Treasure Potts & Floyd Country Store




In Floyd we anticipate near 50 trail sites and have almost 20 sites that have already joined as Trail Sites-including The Jacksonville Center, the Floyd Country Store, the Bell Gallery, Presidio Arts, Crenshaw Lighting, Chateau Morrisette, Villa Appalaccia, WRG Farm, the Oak Haven Lodge and the personal studios of artisans: Tom Baldwin, Susan Icove, Jeanna Pynn, Terri Walters, Ron & Susan Sutterer, Silvie Granatelli, Corinne & bill Graefe, Tom Phellps an Gibby Waitzkin.




Round the Mountain is working in partnership with 19 counties and 4 cities across Southwest Virginia on the development of the Regional Artisan Trail Network. Local Artisan Trail Committees-comprising of leaders in the arts, agriculture, chamber, tourism and government-have been established in all 19 counties and 4 cities this year. These local groups are working in partnership with RTM to develop their local artisan trails through Spring/Supper 2009.




The trails will be featured on RTMs website as an interactive map and trip planner, in local and regional brochures, and highlighted at Heartwood, the new regional Artisan Gateway that will serve as the trail hub.




Those interested in participating can contact Pat Sharkey, Trail Development Coordinator for RTM, at 540-651-4819 or psharkey@roundthemountain.org.

  • We are in the Appalachian Music community of Floyd Virginia - I am also making a small museum display of some of my computers available to the public in the Village Green. We are on the "Blue Ridge Parkway" & " The Crooked Road - Virginia's Heritage Music Trail" . A lot of good things here - drop in and see us sometime. Also if you are biker this is a big stop over for riders on the Blue Ridge Parkway - Dave
