Think local first.
Buying locally isn’t always possible, but the NRV Homegrown Directory is here to help make it easier for you! The next time you’re in need of a product or service, check our database first to see if there’s a local alternative to the chain you would normally visit. Bonus: Save money at these locations when you’re a Go Local Card member!

For The Community
Support A Strong Community
Money spent at locally owned businesses puts 3 times more money back into the local economy than chain stores. The multiplier effect created by spending locally generates lasting impact on the prosperity of the New River Valley!
Our Mission
We support, promote, and strengthen independent locally owned businesses by educating our community about the importance of shopping locally and creating visibility through our Go Local Card discount program. We encourage a culture of consciously shopping locally by demonstrating how accessible, affordable and beneficial local business is to our unique community.
