Blue Ridge Pepper Patch
Blue Ridge Pepper Patch is a small-scale urban farm specializing in sustainably grown hot peppers. We provide a variety of peppers, from superhot to not-a-lot, and only harvest them when they are at proper ripeness and peak heat. We incorporate sustainability into all aspects of our company, going beyond simple agrichemical reduction. Some examples include sourcing recycled paper for shipping/informational materials, reusing nursery pots, choosing biodegradable seedling trays, rainwater harvesting, and promoting soil health. Growing at Good Hope Farm in 2022, we hope to grow enough peppers to introduce many more people in the triangle to the amazing variety, flavors and colors of hot peppers! Find us on Facebook
Guest vendor: Apr 16 and Sep 10
Visionary Microgreens
We grow several varieties of microgreens. Most varieties have a short growing cycle and will be harvested 8-12 days from when we sew the seeds. The first several days of the seed's life are spent covered up with another tray and weighted down. When the seed first sprouts in this condition, it has to push its roots down and work hard to send the stem upward. These growing conditions make the stems stronger and the plant heartier. (A tray of Black Oil Sunflower seeds in germination will lift up the tray with the 15-pound weight!) Once the seeds are out of the covered germination phase, they are put under growing lights and watered every day until they are ready for harvest. We usually deliver our products hours after harvesting. That way, they are as fresh as possible. Your container of microgreens is happiest in the refrigerator around 37-39 degrees Fahrenheit - cold but not where they may freeze! Under these conditions, your micro-vegetables should stay fresh for 7-14 days.

Part-time Vendor
Wild Earth
We started Wild Earth because we were fed up with the dog food industry. It wasn’t doing right by the animals we love and the planet we share with them.
At its core, there’s an unhealthy meat dependency in pet food. Most of the time, meat in your pet food means: Bad ingredients. Bad practices. And bad health. Which is bad news for pets, pet parents, and the planet.
So we made a new kind of dog food – a better one. With a plant-based recipe that’s simply made better. This means: High-quality, cruelty-free ingredients. Sustainable sourcing that’s better for the planet. And a vet-developed recipe that’s both healthy and better for pets.
Full-time Vendor
Carolina Biscuit Dog Treats
Carolina Biscuit Dog Treats is a local dog treat company specializing in wheat free, corn free, soy free dog treats using no animal parts. That's right, our treats are vegan. We believe sustainable health begins on the inside - it matters what they eat.
I have been baking treats for over 18 years and started baking for our beloved Labrador, Clyde. He had skin issues, ear junk and was overweight. When I started paying attention to the ingredients and removed massed produced treats and feed with quality clean ingredients, his conditions improved. We use ingredients like non GMO garbanzo bean flour, molasses, chia and flax seeds and healthy oils. Ingredients that are easy on the tummy, good for older dogs, supportive of kidney function and urinary health. I hope to meet you & your pup soon.

Guest Vendor - Apr 16
Fuquay Spice & Tea
We are a Locally owned, purveyor of the finest spices, loose leaf teas, oils & vinegars, and local goods. I went to my first Spice and Tea shop out in Wilmington, NC.

I grew up in Willow Springs, NC. Attended Fuquay Middle and High School. My family has been here for generations. This is my home. I felt it is important to keep a piece of my family and this communities heritage preserved.

Craft Artisans
Sawdust & Sage
Palletwood is creatively repurposed into rustic furniture and other urban farmhouse decor for home and garden. We are Karen and Tyler, a mother and son team, making seasonal items like potato planters in, fire pit covers, and Christmas Tree boxes. A large majority of our time is spent making upcycled pallet wood barn quilts, wood art, benches, chairs, and tables. He is the SAWDUST and I am the SAGE.
Our exploration into this small business venture actually started when Tyler turned 10 years old and we decided homeschooling was the way we wanted to live and learn. We believe that everyone has a gift. While embracing Tyler's gifts, we discovered that he was really good at making things. Teaching ourselves through different projects and tools we found that we were both enjoy the creative process.
In 2017, it was clear that this is Tyler's gift. As we practiced and leaned together, Tyler's pallet furniture business became very successful, then we branched out into other farmhouse style items. Our family business is a passion project turned full time job, inspired through our love of learning, acceptance, individuality and perseverance. Let us build something special for you.

The Pink Hound Co
I'm Penny and I have been operating The Pink Hound for about a year now. This is something that started with a heat press and a stack of screen prints on my dining room table, and has now grown and I had to move into a she-shed! I love creating shirts, jewelry, car fresheners, probably because there's no end to what you can design and put on them. I never dreamed I would enjoy something so much! I think about shirts and making them when I'm at my "real" job!
I love the country life and I try to reflect that in a lot of what I do because that's just who I am. I know that's not for everyone but I do try to have variety for everyone and I think I do a good job of mixing it up but you will see a lot of farm, country and western designs at The Pink Hound. The name of my business just popped in my head one night because I have three hounds and they are my favorite dogs, and I love pink so I'm like-oh! The Pink Hound! So it stuck! I hope you enjoy my creations as much as I did creating them!

Stringin' Along Wood Works
I am Alana, a military spouse living life in NC! I found my love for string art when I took a class while we were stationed in Germany. I created a string art board of Ohio, my home state, and have loved it every since. I am not one that is gifted in other art mediums so it was wonderful to find this passion. My desire to create more designs and increase the difficulty of my designs grows with every board I make. I look forward to meeting you at my booth!
