Needle & Grain Quarterly - Winter 2026
A Return to Slow Living
There is a specific kind of quiet found only in the corners of Columbia, a rhythm of life that often gets lost in the digital noise. We created the Needle & Grain Quarterly to capture that cadence. More than a publication, it is a physical weight in your hands; a soft-touch, collectible record of the stories, craft, and voice that define Columbia.
Pure Heart, No Noise
Every page is filled with 100% human-made contributions. We don’t run advertisements, and we don't use AI. We believe that local stories like these deserve the dignity of ink and high-quality paper.
What to Expect
Inside, you’ll find lessays on the people who shape our town, photographs and seasonal inspiration for your family and home. It is a curated collection of our founding spirit: purposeful, communal, and deeply rooted.
