Vendor Spotlight for August 1st!


Vendor Spotlight Information Sheet
Name and Business –  Marsha Foster - Frogs Hair Baskets

Who are you? What do you sell? How and why did you get started?

Marsha Foster, a basket weaver and weaving teacher, has turned her
hobby into an opportunity to raise money for local charities. Marsha
makes all types of baskets – reed, waxed linen, ash, oak (depending on
availability) - as well as furniture. Marsha’s father was a weaver and
while he did not teach her to weave she does use his tools when
weaving.

What do you like about selling at Farmers’ Markets?

I like meeting and greeting the shoppers. It is also an opportunity to
talk about the history of weaving. And at the end of the day, if any
baskets have been sold, the money I make from the sales is used to
help others.

 Who are you? What do you sell? How and why did you get started?

 We sell mini pies, colossal cuties (giant cookies) canned cuties, (preserves, jams, & desserts) baked right into canning jars.  I started Cutie Pies, to create a bonding experience with my 11 yr old daughter.

The market teaches my three children about healthy produce.  It gets them excited about growing things in our own backyard.  Cutie Pies teaches my daughter the rewarding feeling of hard work.
