Nestled between the hustle and bustle of Atlanta and the great outdoors of the Appalachian Mountains lies North Georgia—a place for locals and tourists alike to gather and experience the best of both worlds.

Within North Georgia are unique cities filled with character, southern hospitality, and a touch of tradition. Whether shopping the various city squares or hiking the many wooded trails, North Georgia offers a destination for everyone.

No matter the season you will find breathtaking views, from the vibrant leaves of autumn to the wildflower fields of summer, and I encourage you to enjoy not only your surroundings but also the heart of our community—the local businesses.

This guide is a celebration of the people behind the exceptional local businesses of North Georgia—the entrepreneurs, makers, and artists who have followed their passion and who share a commitment to our community.

It is my hope that this book will inspire discovery. Browse it, display it, share it with family and friends, but most important, use it.

Whether a visitor, newcomer, or longtime local, I hope this guide helps you see that all we need can be found here.

Finally, I’d like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all of the businesses who appear on these pages. It is an honor to help tell your stories, and I cannot wait to share more about them online throughout the coming year.

Thank you for using this guide, and when you connect with these businesses, tell them The Scout Guide sent you!

Warm regards,
