the gist
Bedford Welcomes New
Main Street Mercantile
written by Sarah Riddell The HomeGrown Co. has a little something for everyone,
and shopping there is a great way to support many of our region's creators.
I
f you're on the hunt for a onestop
retail shop with a wide array of
unique, locally-sourced options to
choose from, look no further than
downtown Bedford's new mercantile,
The HomeGrown Company.
Inspired by owners Taylor Dowe and Bryn
McDaniel's " love for local goods and hard
working entrepreneurs, " The HomeGrown Co.
boasts products from over 35 local artisans, and
their list of vendors just keeps on growing.
Another aspect that makes this new business
special is that no trip to the shop is ever exactly
the same. " The store is ever changing whether
that is to highlight a new vendor or because we
want to switch things around, " says McDaniel
and Dowe. " It's always a different experience
when you walk through the door. "
Shoppers will also find commodities from
Dowe and McDaniel's individual businesses
available for purchase - hand-cut wood signs
and decor from Dowe's Rylor & Co. Designs,
and an assortment of baked goods made using
local ingredients from McDaniel's Kind Baking
Co.
The entrepreneurs first met during their
high school years through athletics before
reconnecting at a networking event and bonding
over the day-to-day challenges of getting a
business off the ground.
" It's hard to find someone who understands
the daily struggles of starting a business and we
happened to be in similar places at the same
time, " so when the chance to go into business
1st
2nd
Floor - Modern Farmhouse Home Decor,
Lighting & Furniture
Floor - Rendezvous Studio & Event Space
together arose and a dream historic corner
space became available, they couldn't let the
opportunity pass them by.
Dowe and McDaniel are so grateful to
the community for the love they've shown
The HomeGrown Company as well as their
vendors since the shop's grand opening in
February, and the pair says there's much more
to come.
" We are excited about offering evening
event hours and pop-ups, " they say. " We will
offer holiday gift wrapping and plan to be a
holiday destination. "
