Vendor Spotlight: The Sweet Pitt
What started about five years ago as Affordably Crafted has grown into the sweet local favorite we know today as The Sweet Pitt!
Known for their freeze-dried candy, dirty sodas, mini pancakes, and walking tacos, this family-owned business has become a market favorite. While their freeze-dried candy remains a best seller, their dirty drinks are quickly becoming just as popular.
When asked what they love most about the market, their answer was simple: the people.
"It's like a big family. We love the music, the smells, the conversations, and the friendships we've built with other vendors and customers."
Behind every market day is a lot of hard work, with freeze-dried candy batches taking 6–12 hours to make and the rest of the week spent preparing for Saturday. Despite the challenges of balancing business and family life, they say the most rewarding part is being active in the community they love.
Their advice for anyone thinking about becoming a vendor?
"Just jump all in. The atmosphere and people are so worth the time and effort."
Be sure to stop by and say hello this Saturday—and grab some freeze-dried candy, a dirty soda, or one of their delicious food items while you're there!
