Watauga County Farmers' Market

Rachael Salmon has combined her love of hiking and camping with photography in a wonderful way. Her practise of hiking wherever she can find a trail provides her with views of spectacular scenery most of us will only see through her camers lens. Rachael shares her art by turning her prints into all-occasion greeting cards, complete with envelopes for mailing. She has senic shots from all around the High Country including Linville River, Linville Falls and Price Lake. She also has spectacular shots from her recent trip to Hawaii. In addition to grand vistas, Rachael also focuses on local wildflowers, garden flowers, and wild animals. Rachael's skill at photography is entirely self taught; her interest in taking photos was encouraged by the gift of a nice camera from her mom.

Rachael also offers organic lentil heating pads known as "warm fuzzies". They have double stiched cotton covers with reinforced corners and are very fragrant with the scent of eucalyptus or lavendar. They can be heated in the microwave for about a minute for soothing enjoyment, or relief from aches and pains. She also has tie dyed scarves, decorated with the special, hard to find dyes that give the richest dark colors. You will also find hand beaded jewelry made from crystal and semi-precious stones.
