Local jewelry artist Shoshannah Frank, from F is for Frank, shows off her handmade jewelry and custom door knobs.
A personal favorite, Dude Sweet Chocolates, was on board to offer locally made sweets. Dude Sweet, owned by Catherine Clapner, retails at a half-dozen stores around Dallas in addition to Austin.
But not all products came from local sources. Some were local residents with specialty products for sale, like the Royal Pepper Co., which imports peppercorns, sea salt, and palm sugar from Cambodia. Owner David Biggs knew of Green Spot, heard they were opening a weekend local market, and wanted to be there.
Heather Rinaldi, a member of Lake Highlands Community Garden, was on hand to offer fresh herbs, composting worms, and worm wine. The worm wine is a rainwater, compost, and molasses mixture made for fertilizing plants. At the next White Rock Local Market, she hopes to have more vegetables that mature in July.
