Jim and Pat Grady opened
Midnight Farms in 1997, located in the beautiful mountain village
of Cashiers, North Carolina in the Blue Ridge Mountain.
In 2006, a second
location opened in Asheville, NC. Rhesa Grady, Jim and
Pat’s daughter, is co-owner, manager and buyer. With a
degree in business, Rhesa brings the absolute best to the
“Happiest City” in the USA. The store is a 100-year-old
log cabin on the National Historic Register and was formally the
Spinning Wheel in the 1940’s.
Midnight Farms features
a complete line of custom rustic furniture. Jim, a
professional woodworker for 30 years builds and designs his own
line of furniture on the premises of the Cashiers store. His
inspiration comes from “the root of rustic style originating in
the Adirondacks. Roots, burls, bark, antlers and organics
abounding in the Southern Appalachians are incorporated into each
piece. Exciting paint colors and glazes are often added to
enhance the beauty of each piece. He takes each piece to a
new dimension. These works of art portray “rustic
elegance.” Stop by Jim’s workshop if you’re in the
area, located at the Cashiers store, to see his creations in the
making. Jim will create a one-of-a-kind masterpiece with
exceptional detail and fine craftsmanship.
