The Past, Preserved
The store at Grasshopper Farms NC has a history that reaches back to the 1890s. Originally an old country store, the building had suffered years of decay until we purchased it in 2020. After lovingly restoring the structure, we’re happy to welcome you to visit and get a glimpse into the past!
