Supporting a Local Artisan
Curious Farms Market is an artisan supply shop just south of Bennett. This creative, in person and online store is a little slice of authentic, vintage heaven where you can find pieces for purchase ranging from stamps, paper, to crafts and craft kits. Carmen, who runs the store also has a YouTube channel where she teaches neighbors how to get creative. The projects like envelopes, bookmarks, journals, frames, and other creations are all do-it-yourself activities for those of us who want to create something unique.
