Urban Country
Adam Calvert AND Tracy Threadgill
517 Main Street, Suite 2, Diamond Springs, 530-636-1336


Describe your business. Did you find it, or did it find you?

Tracy: I’ve always been passionate about upcycling and DIY, and got into a car accident this past year, which really put my life into perspective. I realized I was unhappy at my current job and that if I never took a leap of faith to do what I truly love, then I would regret it. Adam and I teamed up and put our passions together to create Urban Country. 

Adam: I have an extensive background and certifications in metal welding and technology, construction, plumbing and carpentry. I like to think of myself as an all-around craftsman.


What’s your biggest job perk?

Being our own boss. It’s a dream to endeavor into this business together and rewarding to go home after a day’s “work” knowing we love what we do.


What’s your favorite place to eat out locally?

We love Bricks Eats and Drinks.


Where do you and your family go locally to have fun?

Sly Park Lake to take our boat out. We enjoy being outside and on the water. We also love hiking Horsetail Falls.


What’s your favorite local business other than your own?

Placerville Hardware. It’s unique, they have great customer service and offer a variety of items (including unique gifts!).


And finally, customer service is…?

Providing an experience for our customers—interacting with them and finding out what their needs and wants are, so we can tailor the next pieces we create to meet them. We don’t just want to sell the product, but also make customers feel welcomed whenever they step foot into Urban Country.
