Celebrating 7 years of LOCAL

This spring we are celebrating 7 years in business. We are so thankful for the continued support of the Shoppe and our talented makers + venders.

In the Shoppe, we believe in going "against the grain" - choosing quality and craftsmanship over mass production, supporting makers and shopping with authenticity. Whether you are searching for a gift for someone special or just love to discover one-of-a-kind finds, the Shoppe is full of North Carolina made goods you won't find anywhere else!

Explore Moore County, NC trails with this beautifully illustrated guide featuring local hiking paths, wildlife, native plants, and Sandhills natural wonders.

Discover the natural beauty of Moore County through Sandhills on Foot, a beautifully illustrated trail guide featuring lyrical copy by North Carolina writer and naturalist Mark Caskie and original illustrations by artist Janis Dougherty.

Inspired by the spirit of Pinecone Pathways, the guide invites readers to slow down, look closely and discover the wildlife, plants and hidden treasures found along our local trails—from towering longleaf pines and rare red-cockaded woodpeckers to fox squirrels and blooming pyxie-moss.

Part field guide, part work of art, it’s an invitation to wander, explore and experience the Sandhills in a whole new way.

Every purchase gives back to the trails featured in its pages. All proceeds will support Weymouth Woods Snadhills Nature Perserve and the Bear Creek Trails through Foothills Outdoors, helping preserve and protect these special outdoor spaces for future generations to explore and enjoy.

Welcome to the Shoppe

Welcome to Against the Grain Shoppe, your destination in downtown Southern Pines for exceptional, locally crafted goods. Nestled at 220 NW Broad Street, our shop is more than a store — it’s a celebration of North Carolina makers, creative spirit, and thoughtful design. 

Founded in 2012 as a home‑based furniture and décor business, Against the Grain evolved into a full storefront in March 2019. Owner Ashley Tramontin has created a cherished hub for artisans, locals, and visitors alike. 

The heart of our mission is a commitment to local and small businesses. Over 90% of our inventory is sourced from North Carolina based makers — many from Moore County.  Ranging from local pottery + artwork to handturn pens + etched glassware, our inventory is always changing - so stop by, say hello and see what's new!
