Republic of Floyd
Merchandise
Most of our “activities” here at the Republic of Floyd are non-commercial and include environmentally sound low carbon impact things like drinking coffee at Café del Sol or Blackwater Loft. Life in paradise comes with a price, however, and to pay for our espressos and biscotti’s we must toil industriously.
On our Store page you will find the exquisite creations of several of Floyd’s local artist cunningly disguised as tourist crap. Remember, your purchase of our stuff will allow us to keep living the dream.
Welcome To Floyd Virginia
The geographic area now known as Floyd County was first settled in 200AD...... on a Tuesday. Thirteen hundred years later the first wave of “Euro-trash” began arriving and the neighborhood has never been quite the same. Further degradation occurred a short time later when hippies and artist began moving in…… and now, low & behold, here you are!
As this brief history of Floyd amply demonstrates ..... we’re all immigrants in one fashion or another…. and, regardless of how long your stay in Floyd may be..... an afternoon or til the worms compost you.... you’ll find the people of Floyd to be quite tolerant & amicable. (Please don’t attempt to pet the hippies!) To guide your Floyd Experience we have created this marvelous website. Careful study of its contents and adherence to the “rules” disclosed within will ensure that your stay here is painless for us and somewhat memorable for you. During your Floyd wanderings remember….. a little bit of tie-dye goes a long way!
