In the early days of Travelers Rest Here I was sharing what I loved most about TR - and nearly ten years later - that is EXACTLY what I am still doing.

I have met SO many fabulous business owners and DJ Wetzel at @whiteoakmarketing is one of those people.
 
DJ offers the sort of services that my TRH Town Guide Members NEED. He handles the website side so you can handle the customer and business side.

And we are working together to bring his services to YOU for the month of March at an extra affordable price.
 
When someone in TR searches “near me,” will they find you — or your competitor? 
 
Most local consumers still use Google Maps to find local businesses, and nearly 98% read online reviews before making a purchase decision. If you’re not ranking in the Google Map Pack (the top 3 listings with the map), you’re invisible to the majority of ready-to-buy customers.
 
GBP Launch helps local businesses in Travelers Rest rank higher on Google Maps, generate more 5-star reviews, and leverage AI-powered optimization to increase visibility where today’s customers search. No complicated tech. No guesswork. Just consistent visibility and steady local demand.
 
🎉🎉 TR HERE readers receive $100 off per month for the life of your subscription. 🎉🎉
 
Let’s make sure Travelers Rest finds you first.
 
(And jump on this - it’s good for THIS MONTH ONLY! Trust me, you want DJ On your team!)

Travelers Rest Farmers Market recently awarded $18,000 in grants to 6 local farms.

Starting in 2023, @trfarmersmarket created the Farmer Fund as a way for the community to do their part in supporting the local food system. The program has established a perennial opportunity for farmers at the market to apply for accessible funding for projects on their farms.
 
The money was raised throughout the year through fundraisers and donations. At the end of each year, a team of grantees rakes through applications and designates Capacity Building Grants to chosen applicants. The grant process in 2026 allowed for six farms to receive funding for various projects.

The 2026 awardees were:
* Common Ground Farm @commongroundgvl
* Double Blessing Farm @redclaysoap
* Farm Girl Deliveries @farmgirl_deliveries
* True Freedom Farm @truefreedomfarm
* Front Yard Foods @frontyard_foods
* Wet Knot Farms @wetknotfarms

THANK YOU for supporting our local farms and farmers. ❤️

Meet Tiffany!

Tiffany and her family live in Travelers Rest. She and her husband and daughter have a Yorkie named Cam.

Tiffany owns @jomarstr and she’s a long time TR native. In fact, she attended TR High at its former location first and then graduated from its new location. Maybe you are Tiffany’s friend from high school or saw her on the football sidelines where she spent years as a cheerleader. (All the way from the TR Youth Association!)

She loves mornings and is pretty sure she no longer knows what free time is. But - if she did find some free time, Tiffany would be pool side, listening to a podcast and later spending time in the kitchen cooking something fun.

A favorite book is Tuesdays with Morrie and she loves to eat at Carolina, @chicoraalleytravelers and Little Pigs BBQ.

If an entire weekend with no tasks ever landed in her lap, Tiffany would look forward to a slow morning, a good cup of coffee, clear sunshine and a steak on the grill that night.

And you know what else Tiffany believes - if you can’t see Paris Mountain, you’re too far from home.

Tiffany - we’re so glad you are TR!
