How a Kentucky creator turned a hobby into a new Mall St. Matthews store
When her last semester of college moved online because of the pandemic, Kara Holbrook found herself with extra time to lean into her creative side. From the floor of her apartment, she started making polymer clay earrings as a hobby, but after posting some pictures of her handiwork on Facebook, orders poured in. “Next thing I knew, I had people ordering earrings from all over the U.S., like this is crazy, but I want to ride this wave,” Holbrook recalled. The eastern Kentucky native was soon running her own website to help facilitate orders, and a newly created TikTok account, where she showed the earring making and order packaging process, took off. Her business, Beanstalk , was born, years before it would become a brick-and-mortar shop at Fayette Mall in Lexington in 2025 and, as of mid-October, a shop at Mall St. Matthews in Louisville.

Edmond Haynes Taylor And James Edward Pepper
There was a long relationship between Edmond Haynes Taylor and Edward Pepper. Taylor started in the whiskey industry after the American Civil War with a partnership in Gaines, Berry and Company, the company that owned the Old Crow brand. About the same time, Oscar Pepper died and left his distillery to James Pepper, who was still a minor and couldn’t own a distillery, so Taylor was appointed his guardian for the distillery.

This Kentucky Farm Store Sells Grass-Fed Beef, Pork, And Farm-Fresh Eggs Raised Right Outside Its Door
The brown eggs at this little farm store were laid that same day by hens roaming the pasture out back. That alone made me sit up a bit straighter. The meat follows the same rule. Grass-fed beef, pasture-raised pork, and pasture-raised chicken all come from animals raised with zero antibiotics, steroids, or pesticides.
