Our Story
We grew up in a small town where cows and football reigned. Our grandparents owned a ranch and tree farm in east Texas where we spent holidays and summers jumping rows of hay, making chocolate pies, and playing golf. Literally. There was a Par 3 hole carved out of a pasture.
We have an affinity for small towns and tomatoes off the vine. In the spring our Papa would carry fresh picked tomatoes in his truck just in case he happened upon someone at the grocery store, about to make a huge mistake in purchasing a tasteless store bought variety.
These experiences lent to a way of life…we found ourselves shying away from cookie-cutter and leaning towards the interesting. Whether it was in the house we lived in or the bowl on our counter we wanted there to be something intrinsically special about it. That’s where Folkway Design & Wares Co. was dreamt up.
