History

Established in 2003.

Co-​owners Susan Connor and Robyn Mulhaney, who as artists, gardeners and business people have a systemic disdain for anything fake, stilted or wasteful.

«I made a comment once to my friend, who ended up being my business partner, that I had a vision,» Mulhaney said. Less than a decade ago, she had confided in Connor she doubted she’d ever have her own business. After they had found the land, planned and were building the gallery, Conner reminded her of those profound doubts that were about to be swept away.

«I thought, ‘oh my gosh, that’s what we have to name it’,» Mulhaney exclaimed. «Our pig flew!»

Thus began the high-​spirited celebration of the arts and gardening embodied by The Flying Pig, where the whimsy of folk art is just one artistic trough in the pen. Seasonal gardens and music, a creative staff and the mood of the visitors themselves all contribute to an energy that gives the place a life of its own.
