Come Visit Us In Farmers, Kentucky

Once the decision was made to manufacture ALL of our products in America, it wasn’t long before “God’s Whispers” and incredible circumstances led me to locate my factory in Farmers, KY.

Suffice to say, when I pulled into the parking lot and saw our potential factory for the first time, I was overwhelmed with emotion because I had already seen this incredible building….in a dream.

Beautifully situated in the Appalachian foothills of eastern Kentucky, adjacent to the Daniel Boone National Forest, Farmers is dotted with quaint antique and gift stores and is only a stones throw from the areas premier vacation and boating venue - Cave Run Lake.

Closeup of Our Factory
While a “sleepy” town today, Farmers, KY was once a hotbed of turmoil and family feuds that even had the Governor calling in the militia to control the chaos. To learn more about the feud and the many activities around us visit:

We are located about 60 miles due East of Lexington on Interstate 64. Take the Farmers-Sharkey Exit 133, South 3 miles to Route 60. Turn left on Route 60 and we are ¼ mile down the road on the left hand side.

Just look for the 5000 square foot log cabin-- with 22 inch solid log walls—the one that looks like Santa’s elves should be working inside and maybe they are!!

Plus, be sure to stop and shop at our year-round Christmas Store.


Our Craftsmen

When I finally decided to bring my line of stockings to the marketplace, most people assumed that I would manufacture them overseas because of the cost factors involved. Boy were they surprised when I announced that I was not only making them in the good ol’ USA, but also in the Appalachian foothills of Eastern Kentucky.

I knew that this area had closed several garment factories which moved overseas but had left behind hundreds of highly skilled sewers.

These skilled workers that bring my creations to life have literally hundreds of years of combined sewing and embellishment experience. They have expressed to me the “joy” that fills their hearts when they work on a creation that is tied to one of our “causal” partners.

I hope you take the time to read about some of these beautiful and skilled friends of mine. Perhaps you’ll see the picture of the one who created and signed your keepsake…
