Coming soon!!!!

A big ole list of everybody that has made this market possible in the past, in the present, and is carrying it forwards with us in the future.

Many hands make light work.

For now: Thank you to all of you
-for helping us keep on, keeping on.

To all y'all who that made the Hurricane-Helene-Pivot to Odonata Farm possible:

∞ Always the first and foremost thanksgiving goes to our incredible volunteers!!! Y’all make it all possible!

Blue Heron White Water Rafting Co. for providing stellar work shuttling folks to and fro! https://www.blueheronwhitewater.com/

∞ Billy & Christina Anders (we call them the mayor & mayoress in our valley); community heroes Mike & Sandy Stevenson - they are our neighbors through the field. Sandy was the Madison county tourism/visitor center ED for years & is also the ED of the Appalachian Barn Alliance. Both families are lending their fields for parking.

∞ A huge thanks to all neighbor folks that live around us or in our back yard up Joe Brown road. So many of you went above and beyond & volunteered! Without your support, we wouldn’t be able to pinch hit at Odonata Farm. We see y’all & we love & appreciate you so!

Implement Legal: When we pivoted to Odonata Farm last year we received generous help from the Implement Legal team. And they didn’t just help us that one year, they are graciously helping us create framework for the longevity and sustainability of the Marshall Handmade Market.
Katherine de Vos Devine & Robert Devine are true heroes for the arts, nonprofits, and our region specifically. The hours they have given and still give towards getting WNC back on it’s feet post Helene are astounding.

They say this about who they are and why they serve:
Create. Protect. Collaborate.
We practice relational law—strategic legal counsel for creative businesses that protects both your work and the collaborative relationships your success depends on.
Creative Work Is Built In Relationship. Your Lawyers Should Understand That.
Whether you're a gallery negotiating with multiple artists, a label managing overlapping rosters, or a production company closing complex deals—you're navigating relationships that extend far beyond any single contract.

Most IP attorneys focus on protecting individual rights. We recognize that creative businesses succeed through sustained collaboration. Traditional legal counsel forces you to choose between protection and relationships. We protect both.
Thank you Katherine & Rob. You hold us, so we can hold our community. ♡
