Our Story: The Heart of Little River
A Dream Cultivated In The Foothills
The Spark
"Little River Provisions didn't start in a boardroom; it started with a shared dream on our 10-acre farm in Blount County. After five years on the team at Blackberry Farm, Michael saw firsthand the magic that happens when world-class hospitality meets local artistry. That "spark" grew into a mission: to take the incredible craft of Tennessee artisans—the makers who pour their soul into every batch of bacon, every hand-thrown mug, and every carved board—and share that heritage with the world."
From the Classroom and Hanger to the Home
The Foundation: Precision and Heart
Our journey is built on a lifetime of service and dedication. Michael brought the discipline of a career in aviation logistics to the front lines of luxury hospitality, learning the "Gold Standard" of how to make a guest feel truly seen.
Connie has spent the last 19 years as a teacher and principal, leading her community with grace and organization. Beyond her leadership in the classroom, Connie has always held a deep-seated passion for the art of gifting—the belief that a thoughtfully curated surprise can bring genuine joy and a sense of belonging to someone’s life. Little River Provisions is the marriage of those two worlds: Michael’s eye for craftsmanship and Connie’s heart for sharing happiness.
The Tennessee Standard
The Mission
We believe that Tennessee’s heritage isn't confined to a single ridge or valley—it is woven into the fabric of the entire state. From the workshops of East Tennessee to the studios across the region, we seek out "Makers" who define excellence.
We aren't just curators; we are neighbors and stewards of these stories. Whether you are welcoming a new homeowner or treating a guest to a true Smoky Mountain morning, we ensure every detail is handled with the care it deserves. We don't just ship boxes; we share the heart of Tennessee, one provision at a time.
