Wild Mountain Trading Co.

 Wild Mountain Trading Co.

My Shih Tzu buddy Zeke and  I were so blessed to meet Ed and Dee, owners of Wild Mountain, in the time and circumstances when we made our first acquaintance… the days immediately following the impact of Hurricane Helene. With deviation all around us especially in Asheville and Chimney Rock, Main Street Hendersonville became a golden strip of electric charging stations, providing a glimmer of hope and light for many of us seeking refuge from the storm. Wild Mountain had just moved to the beautiful blue ridge mountains from the 14’rs  of Colorado to reopen their business when their plans were rudely interrupted by Helene. Nonetheless they persevered to open their doors and their hearts to the community providing a warm and welcoming space for us as we made our daily trek for coffee at the Black Bear. Speaking of Coffee, Wild Mountain will soon be brewing up their own blend of essential morning joe. So for myrth, memories, music and mocha that will warm your heart and soul I am so happy that we discovered Wild Mountain and I hope that many more visitors, close friends and new found friends will…

Welcome to Hendersonville 

Wild Mountain Trading Co.


A newfound treasure has emerged on Main Street downtown Hendersonville.



Animal lovers are special people and that only begins to describe how special are Dee and Ed, owners of Wild Mountain Trading.


Musicians are special people too and Ed is an accomplished musician on the classic and yet trending instrument, the Ukulele.

 I was so happy to find Shine open and serving lunch and dinner  during this hurricane Helene aftermath. On both occasions our waitress made us feel so welcomed. We shared short stories about all that had experienced and our concerns but beyond the shadow of those fears she served the most delicious meals and beer and coffee on my different occasions to visit and oh yes, she even accommodated my dog with kindness and a bowl of water. We have dined at Shine before, considering it a more dress up venue, but now in our hours of need, the true essence and commitment to community of Shine shown through.
