Meet the Makers
Southern Pines resident Ashley Tramontin opened Against the Grain Shoppe in 2019 to give local makers a platform to showcase their products. “We’re a hub for local business owners,” Tramontin says. “The idea is to give small businesses a storefront and a place to grow their businesses.” The shop, in downtown Southern Pines, carries North Carolina-made home goods and gifts. Curated with care, the shelves are filled with bath and body products, ceramic pieces, jewelry, tea towels, stained glass, woodwork, and other kitchen and gift items. Tramontin recently started a pantry section featuring locally made chocolates, baking mixes, honey, pecans, and snacks.
