Local Spotlight: Blackberry Hill Farm

The weather is finally getting cooler and with cooler weather our minds instantly begin to wander to the holiday season. If you are anything like us you are always looking for that special, unique gift to give to family and friends. Therefore, we thought we would do our best to help you find something special and spotlight some of our local vendors that we have in our tasting room. All of these gifts are handmade with skill and love. We hope you love the local products that our little town has to offer as much as we do.

Our first Local Spotlight vendor is Blackberry Hill Farms. Blackberry Hill is owned and operated by Sue and Jim and their two wonderful children in Nunnelly, TN. Together they raise award-winning Icelandic sheep.

From the wool that they hand-shear from these precious animals, Sue and Jim hand dye and hand spin their own wool yarn and make their own fleece. They offer a variety of finished products such as shawls, soap scrubies and handbags as well as skeins of their beautifully dyed and spun yarn. Each product is labeled with the name of the sheep who donated their coat to the product ( our favorite is Gretyl. She’s so soft!).

Whether you have a knitter in the family or just someone who loves unique handmade gifts, Blackberry Hill’s wool products is a great gift idea!

Happy Trails Minnie!

For the last 2 years Grinder’s Switch Winery has been the happy host to the famous statue of Minnie Pearl, Centerville, Tennessee’s famous local. We have enjoyed every day that Minnie has been here visiting us, but the time came this past weekend that Minnie hit the road once again.

You can’t keep a girl like Minnie in one spot for too long. She lives to travel and make people happy. That’s why we wish her the all the best on her next new home. We can only hope that she brings the people of her new home as much happiness as she has brought us.

“Where is that new home?” you ask.  Well, Minnie wouldn’t say. She said it was a surprise and she didn’t want to ruin it by telling us.

So long, Minnie. It has been a pleasure. Tell all those folks at your new place that we said, “Howdeee!”
