Spring brings new life to the forests of Brevard, and at @pisgahcollective, it brings endless opportunities for curiosity and discovery. This Montessori-inspired outdoor preschool encourages young learners to explore, create, and connect with the natural world each day. With gardens, open space, and hands-on learning woven into the experience, children grow right alongside the changing seasons.

What makes @theophilus_brevardnc truly special is its people. A dedicated team of women, ages 15 to 70+, brings warmth and care to everyone who walks through the door. Led by Customer Care Manager Carson Allender and Inventory Manager Claire Hall, the team embodies the store’s guiding philosophy: Be kind, be genuine, and serve with love. Since opening in 2009, the clothing boutique has been a cornerstone of Brevard’s Main Street, offering an eclectic mix of women’s apparel, jewelry and accessories, home goods, and thoughtful gifts. Every item in the store is carefully curated and sourced from all over the country and abroad. Stop by and say hello!

Founded almost 50 years ago by Lloyd and Mary Kathryn Fisher and now led by their daughter, Broker-in-Charge Amy Fisher, @fisherrealtync is one of the oldest and highest-performing real estate companies in WNC. Yet, the firm's lasting impact hasn’t come from flashy advertising or fanfare, but from relationships built on trust, integrity, and deep community roots. “At the end of the day, this is a relationship business and so much more than a transaction,” Amy says. “We genuinely care about helping people create a life that feels right for them.”

At @etchedinteriors, owner and founder Bree Myers strikes a balance between elevated minimalism and the warmth of everyday living. With an eye for meaningful details, like rich textures, natural materials, and playful pops of color, Bree creates spaces that feel authentic and relaxed. “Great design is as much about how a home feels as how it looks,” Bree says. With Etched Interiors, she has created a studio that’s “rooted in style, soul, and intention, where every project is designed to feel lived-in and loved.”

For more than 25 years, @cindyplatt.bgc has provided a safe, inclusive place where youth ages 5 to 18 are supported year-round through academic support, enrichment programs, and strong relationships. Through after-school and summer programming, the Club’s mission is to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, and responsible citizens.

Part neighborhood market, part bottle shop, part wine and cocktail bar, @territorywine has carved out a space all its own: where you can show up as you are and feel right at home. The Wine & Cocktail Bar boasts a spirits-forward program that’s unlike anything else in town, with house infusions, seasonal ingredients, and creative twists that make each drink feel both elevated and approachable. For those wishing to pair their wine or cocktail with a bite to eat, Territory’s all-day menu has you covered — including marinated olives, wood-fired pizza selections, shareable charcuterie boards, sandwiches, and more.

@elements_wellness_spa's heartbeat is its team: 13 gifted practitioners, each offering their own specialties and styles. “This place is a gem,” owner Gretchen Hogan says. “I feel lucky to hold space for such talented therapists.” Guests can choose from therapeutic bodywork like deep tissue, myofascial release, or abdominal massage, as well as potent energy healing, facials, and services by a Doctor of Acupuncture. The team continually evaluates wellness trends, adding only what truly delivers.

Now in its 2nd year, @elegant_aura_aesthetics is a space where patients can come and feel pampered. Owner Amanda Crowley, NP-C, brings expertise in Botox, dermal fillers, PRP, microneedling, Sculptra, and chemical peels. Every consultation begins with a conversation, mirror in hand, as she listens to her patients’ goals. The result is a customized plan that enhances each person’s features with subtle treatments, restoring volume and smoothing fine lines and wrinkles for a naturally refreshed look.

Since launching her real estate career 9 years ago, @mtb.realtor has become a trusted guide for buyers and sellers. A proud member of the Howard Hanna/Beverly-Hanks team, Taryn Hart helps clients identify exactly where they’ll thrive, whether that’s a quiet cabin near Dupont or a downtown bungalow close to local coffee shops and trailheads. “I ask a lot of lifestyle questions,” she says. “Do you want to ride five days a week? Walk downtown for brunch? Those details help me match people with the life they’re dreaming about.” Reach out to see how she can help you find your future home.

@sundragonartandfiber's shelves are stocked with high-quality, colorful yarns, knitting and crochet notions, and fibers to inspire every kind of crafter. Stop by the shop (Route 64 on the southwest end of Brevard) and pick up all your supplies for your next project!
