Artisanal Products From North Carolina's High Country

A thriving community in the High Country of North Carolina makes fine artisanal products, like wine, cheese and honey, to sell at local farmers markets.

Quilts and Carvings at the Fogo Island Artisans’ Guild

Just beside the turnoff to the Fogo Island Inn stands Wind and Waves, the artisans' guild on the island. The structure serves two purposes -- to provide work space, especially for the active quilting circle, whose pieces adorn every bed at the inn; and as a retail outlet for artists and craftspeople.
