Meet Our Local Artisan Market Vendors

SHH Story:

My story cannot be told without including my wife and best friend Jessica. Without her help and support, none of this would be possible. Together we have been able to take our love for food and turn it into a family business where we can share our passion and flavorful delights with others. 

In 2017 I brought home a couple of plants from a local business and to our surprise we didn’t kill them. Turns out we love to watch things grow. We wanted to learn more so we enrolled in horticulture and organic farming classes at the local college. We started growing better quality produce and larger quantities with many different varieties of fruits and vegetables. We were so successful that we began to produce more than we could eat or give away and decided to try canning to preserve our harvest. We started with pickles and salsa and shared them with our family and friends. 

Most everyone said that this was good enough to sell. So, we took a chance and started selling at the local farmers market and our success has led to the launch of our family business. The rest of the story is yet to be lived.

PS. The story behind SHH……

When we moved to our 2-acre property we wanted to raise our own food. We thought we’d try chickens or goats or pigs, but we weren’t prepared for that type of noisy food. That’s when we decided to become gardeners and grow quiet food. Hence the name SHH – The Quiet Food.

For the past 50 years I have been a visual and performing artist. Born and raised in Pine Mountain Georgia, I migrated to New York and had my way with the city. I had my first group art show there in Lincoln Center’s Cork Gallery at Avery Fisher hall and sold the one painting I had in the show to a German tourist. It was magical. I worked professionally as an actor, singer, dancer in film, television, and touring companies. I was fortunate enough to work with Rob Marshall, Tim Robbins, Savion Glover, Cleo King, Vanessa Redgrave, Dick Clark, Maurice Hines, Freda Payne, Doris Troy, and countless other amazing professionals. 

I was a member of the West Side Art Coalition in New York City for many years. I discovered how much I loved Arizona while on a national tour of Jelly’s Last Jam at the Gammage Auditorium. I thought I would retire here one day, but after the World Trade Center disaster, my husband and I decided it was time to move to Arizona early.

I started my own business, Henwak Gallery, where I design my own creations and some of my art can be seen and purchased on my website www.HenwakGallery.com .

I created my very own hair accessory line that I refer to as hair candy. These can be purchased locally at the ‘Tis Art Center and Gallery, and online in my Etsy shop www.Etsy.com/shop/henwakgallery Check my website for detail.

Jodi and Steven Ross are the founders of The Happy Hippie, a wellness company based in Northern Arizona, specializing in medical marijuana and cannabis products. Their journey began in 2017 when Jodi sought alternative therapies to address her chronic health issues, sparking the idea for The Happy Hippie—with Jodi as its inspiration. Steven, with a background in quality control and supply chain management in cannabis dispensaries and labs, had become concerned by the lack of high-quality products on the market. He observed many brands using low-grade materials, skipping third-party testing, and even falsifying label claims.

Determined to create a solution, Steven combined his expertise in cannabis science with a commitment to ethics, formulating his own cannabinoid elixirs and lotions. Initially developed to help Jodi, these formulations soon garnered attention from friends and family, and the couple decided to turn their personal mission into a business. Today, The Happy Hippie delivers premium, lab-tested cannabinoid products that prioritize quality and affordability. Jodi and Steven’s goal is simple: to offer targeted, high-quality wellness solutions that are safe, effective, and accessible to all.

My name is Corina and I’m from Snohomish, WA. where I was raised my entire life. I moved to Arizona 3 years ago to get out of the persistent rain. 

My passion is horses and I have trained and rescued them for 50 years. I currently do not have a horse but fortunately do have access to ride and take care of them. I have two dogs, Lucy and Desi. 

I started working with my dad in the summer building houses and have always had a passion for building things. I started making wood decor this past year from repurposed furniture and make custom designed clocks, framed art, and more practical items for your home. I make trophies for your special events as well as gifts and pet items. House warming gifts are a great item to personalize for friends, family and loved ones. 

Thank you for your support of small businesses.

. In 1975 I started "Debbie's Kitchen", which is now "Deb's Jams and More". My grandmother taught me how to cook, bake and make jams and the first thing I remember her teaching me was Apple Butter. I still make it just like she taught me over 60 years ago. I have owned my own restaurant as well as worked as a chef in various restaurants, including The Flamingo Hilton. I am a native of Arizona and have lived all over our beautiful state. I love creating new flavors of Jams and baked goods. I hope you will enjoy trying all thirty plus flavors of my jams. 

The Mystery Library

Some stories refuse to be judged by their covers.

This isn't a bookshop—it's a literary treasure hunt.

Here, every book arrives shrouded in secrecy—wrapped tight with only a single enigmatic clue to hint at what lies within. Will it be a forgotten classic? A cult favorite? A tale so strange it defies genre? The only way to know is to dive in.

I specialize in unexpected connections—the kind of books that find you at just the right moment. No algorithms, no bestseller lists—just the electric thrill of literary discovery.

When not playing matchmaker between readers and mysterious volumes, I craft custom covers for stories that deserve something extraordinary. Because sometimes, what’s inside should stay hidden… until the right moment.

Care to unravel a secret? 

Hello. my name is Jim Watkins. I spent most of my life in California, now live in Prescott Valley. Many years ago, I started writing inspirational messages, mainly for myself. After a friend saw them, she suggested sharing them. My first book was an Inspirational Journal. Each page is headed with an original inspirational message. They still remain popular. At a farmers market, a lady asked about address books. I started making address books. After a friend complained about password storage, notebooks, post-its, scraps of paper, etc. the password book was created. By doing all of the work, I can customize all of my books. Printing a name on the front cover, custom photo covers, special message on the inside of the front cover or hybrid address/password book. If you think of a variation, I will try to do it. I'll be happy to meet you at the Local Artisan Market and show you my full line of covers and discuss any special requests.

I’m Lindsay Thompson! I run Sugar Mama Bakery out of my home in Mayer. I’ve been baking for family and friends over the last 15 years and recently decided to pursue my dream of baking full time! Started my business officially in 2024 with iced sugar cookies and it has quickly expanded to everything sweet! Custom cakes and cookies for every celebration, and new things like macarons!

I grew up in Brooklyn, NY and in school, I always took art classes. Mostly drawing and painting. And I also enjoyed growing plants at home. They were green, but never bloomed or had any flowers. I graduated college with a degree in commercial art. But there wasn't much opportunity for creativity in any of my jobs. 

I kept trying to grow flowering plants for years, and I finally had success with one African violet!! So, I took a photo. Or three. I didn't expect the bloom to last, but it did. Then another violet bloomed, and I took more photos!  Well, my flowering violets continued for months, and I just kept taking photographs. The flowers were in stunning shades of pinks, purples and white. I loved the dramatic shapes and images of the petals and leaves. I started photographing other flowers, especially orchids and roses. Then I also photographed many aspects of nature such as sunsets and butterflies. I also enjoy cat and dog photography.

I started to participate in local craft fairs. I was lucky enough to win a few awards in art shows.  lt has truly become my passion to photograph beautiful flowers and scenery. I find great joy, serenity and peace in photography and especially flowers. I'm thrilled that I can fully enjoy nature and be so creative in Prescott!

I keep things fresh, fun, and full of flavor—with options that hold up to Arizona’s heat and highlight local ingredients whenever possible.

Everything I make is hand-crafted and baked with love (and a little chaos) in my cottage kitchen—named after my favorite taste-tester and assistant: my son, Wyatt.All hand crafted and I hope that you enjoy them!

I live in Prescott Valley and I grow gourds in my garden. I plant the seeds in the spring and harvest the gourds in the fall. It takes a year for the gourds to dry before I can make anything from them. After they dry, it can be a tedious process to clean them, depending on the size and kind of gourd you are working with. I use gourds, beads, wood, dried cactus and feathers to make my artistic gourd creations.
