Why This Exists
A small idea that kept bothering me
When I first moved here, I kept meeting incredible people doing amazing work and realizing most of the community had no idea they existed. An artist tucked away in a studio. A wellness practitioner helping people quietly heal. A farmer growing something beautiful just down the road.
And I kept thinking the same thing: How does no one know you’re here?
So I started building a simple solution. Around Here is a growing local guide designed to help people discover the businesses, events, and experiences that make Serenbe and Chatt Hills special.
Around Here includes:
• Local business directory
• Community events calendar
• Bi-weekly Around Here newsletter
• Serenbe Visitor Guide
• More local guides coming soon
Together, they help locals, visitors and event planners find the people who make this place feel alive.
