Visit an alpaca farm. Pick your own strawberries. Enjoy live music while sipping wine at a vineyard. Order local greens and a grass-fed beef burger at one of our farm-to-table restaurants. And enjoy a few homegrown happenings — fairs, festivals and family fun events — along the way! Whatever you do, be sure to savor the experience! ON THE COVER: Blue Ridge artist Tina Maslankowski painted this folk art rooster specially for us! Albeit a departure from her award-winning realistic Tina abides by the words of VanGogh: “When you hear a voice in your head saying you cannot paint, by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.” Find more of her work at artistatina.com. Our Agritourism Partners painting technique, she has found great pleasure in a looser, more interpretive depiction of animals — from the barnyard to the jungle. Tina has lived in Blue Ridge for more than 20 years. When she’s not painting in her home studio, you can find her downtown managing Multitudes Gallery, or offering monthly Wine & Paint parties at neighboring Gartrell Gallery. Of course, you can purchase her art at both places, too!
