Big Ivy is a family-owned farm in Barnardsville, just outside Asheville, NC, specializing in pasture-raised meats rooted in regenerative farming practices. Every cut we sell is raised right here in the mountains of Western North Carolina—without shortcuts, without compromises, and always with care. This isn’t industrial agriculture. It’s a return to a time of tradition: honest meat, grown with respect for the animal, the land, and the people who do the work. At Big Ivy, you don’t have to wonder where your food came from—you can see the pasture, meet the farmer, and know exactly what you're bringing to the table.

I founded J.C. Mars Creations to share my passion for creating with the world. I am a one-woman-owned and run small business with one goal...to create beautiful, one-of-a-kind pieces that bring a smile to your day. Every design is 100% originally hand-dyed and can not be replicated to an exact match, no matter if I use the same colors and techniques; That's why I believe there is something for almost everyone, here, as they are as unique as each person. I am the sole creator from the moment I choose which blank items to use, the preparation, what design to go with and tying/folding it up, to carefully choosing what colors and applying, rinsing and washing, all the way to packaging and shipping off to a new home. I put my love and imagination into each piece; hopefully, you can see it, too.

I cherish the journey from hiking the Blue Ridge Mountains and collecting specimens along the forest floor, to returning to my Tinker Shop to craft, to watching my pieces make their way to loving homes.
Treading lightly, I harvest the nature parts that have lived their life, ready now to decay. I take lichens from the ground once they have fallen off the trees and I collect only a few acorns a year, ensuring enough food remains for the critters.
I make this art to bring nature inside your home in such a magical way as to spark your imagination. The more you gaze at my art, the more there is for you to discover.
