Sopchoppy ... just the name makes us interested in visiting this town/location. As it turns out, Sopchoppy is a small, yet unique town located near Crawfordville and 45 minutes southwest of Tallahassee. And, as we came to learn, although there wasn't much to see and do in Sopchoppy, there was a unique one-man business - pottery, that is tucked away in the woods. Although no real address or website was available, we pulled into the town and simply (and politely) asked some locals - the local grocery owner and street maintenance guys "hey, what's to see in town"? Their answer "Griffin's ... down the road a piece". So traveling Main St. we turn onto a dirt road and came upon George Griffin Pottery.
George's marketing approach is simple - word of mouth - he has no website, no cell phone, no email ... he relies solely on visitors sharing their visit on TripAdvisor, Yelp, etc. TripAdvisor. (update: I just received a note from our neighbor stating "In the 50's when my dad was a salesman for the Mennen Company, he actually called on the one small grocery store in Sopchoppy.") ... it's a small world.
