"Our mission is to cultivate premium, all‑natural lavender products from lavender grown on our farm in Barnwell, SC. We distill the lavender to create 100% pure lavender essential oil that is used as the base for all the lavender products we sell in our store. Additionally, we are very much for supporting other small farms and artisans by collaborating with them to create additional, lavender inspired products in our shop. We hope we are more than a shop but an experience.

We chose North Augusta because of its amazing people and businesses. We felt that the community would truly embrace our type of business, which focuses on all natural products.

We offer many different lavender products. Some of our top ones include our Lavender, Goat Milk & Honey Body Lotion, our Lavender Linen Spray, and our All Natural Bug Repellent (It really works with no DEET!)

We were very surprised by all the support we received from other businesses. Everyone here has been amazing, which is why we chose North Augusta."

A new addition to the Greeneway is now in place!

These informational kiosks will help residents and visitors navigate the Greeneway, discover nearby amenities, and better connect with the places and experiences that make North Augusta special.

This project was made possible through support from the Hurricane Helene Community Crisis Fund for the Central Savannah River Area, administered by the Community Foundation for the CSRA. This investment will provide a lasting benefit for everyone who enjoys the Greeneway.

We are grateful to the Community Foundation for the CSRA for helping make projects like this possible and for investing in the continued recovery and growth of our community.

Be sure to keep an eye out for the new kiosks on your next walk, run, or bike ride along the Greeneway!

On June 1, a dedicated group of volunteers from North Augusta Garden Council came together to freshen up Billie's Butterfly Garden along the Greeneway, helping ensure this special space remains a welcoming stop for visitors, pollinators, and nature lovers alike.

North Augusta Forward was proud to support the effort by covering the materials and supply costs needed for the project. We are grateful for the volunteers who generously gave their time and energy to help keep our community beautiful.

The next time you're enjoying a walk, run, or bike ride on the Greeneway, take a moment to stop by Billie's Butterfly Garden and enjoy the results of their hard work.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this project possible. 🌿🦋

For many of us, it will be hard to imagine a Third Thursday without Forrest McKie.

Forrest was a familiar face downtown and one of North Augusta Forward's biggest supporters. You could often find him on Third Thursdays outside Cavalier's Coffeehouse helping Grace United Methodist Church pop popcorn, greeting friends, and enjoying the crowds that gathered.

He loved seeing people come together. Whether it was Third Thursday, Spring Fest, Tinseltown Forest, or another community event, Forrest was always proud to see downtown full of life and people making memories together.

More than anything, Forrest encouraged us. He believed in what was happening in Downtown North Augusta, celebrated the progress our community was making, and never hesitated to share his support.

We are grateful for the many ways he showed up for our community and for the joy he found in seeing North Augusta thrive.

We extend our deepest condolences to his wife, JoAnn, family and friends. Forrest will be missed by many.

Live music is turning up the volume in downtown North Augusta.

Through our new Downtown Music Activation Grant, North Augusta Forward is investing $20,000 into supporting live music experiences at downtown businesses, and with required matching funds from participating merchants, that means more than $40,000 will be injected directly into our local music scene and downtown economy.

One of our first-round grant recipients, Carolina Hills Sandwich Shoppe, is putting those funds to work with live music happening all weekend at the shop.

This program is designed to support local businesses, create more opportunities for musicians, and continue building a vibrant downtown experience for residents and visitors alike.

Be sure to stop by Carolina Hills this weekend, support live music, and experience the energy growing in downtown North Augusta.

This Is Us, This is Why!

"EarthTone Beauty was inspired by my desire to create a space where people feel truly connected to themselves again. I’ve always believed skincare goes beyond the surface; it’s about how you feel in your body, how you show up in your life, and how you care for yourself when no one is watching.

I blend results-driven skincare with a deeply intentional, almost meditative experience. Every facial, every treatment is designed to not only improve the skin but to calm the nervous system, restore confidence, and bring the client back to center. It’s not just a service...it’s a reset.

Opening EarthTone Beauty in Downtown North Augusta felt intentional for me. This area is growing, evolving, and creating space for businesses that bring something meaningful to the community, and I wanted to be a part of that shift.

Downtown has a certain calmness to it. It’s not overly rushed, and that aligns perfectly with the experience I provide. When clients come to me, I want them to feel like they’ve stepped away from the noise and into a space that allows them to slow down, breathe, and be present.

What I love most about North Augusta is the balance. It has a peaceful, almost quiet energy, but there’s still growth and opportunity here. You can take a walk, enjoy nature, visit local spots, and still feel connected to a larger community.

North Augusta gives me the space to create, to grow my business intentionally, and to pour into my clients in a way that feels genuine."
