From Natalie, volunteer… I started volunteering at the Joelton Makers Market last Christmas and instantly saw how it genuinely supports local businesses and our community year-round. It's warm, open, and all about bringing people together. I was looking for real community—this market showed me what it is and introduced me to amazing folks who truly show up for Joelton.

Longtime vendor Billy Brown, known as "the goat guy," shared: "I love the joy and excitement that the kids have when they get to hold, pet and interact with the farm animals. It's a great connection and learning lesson that they truly enjoy. The market is a blessing filled with wonderful choices of many skilled craftsmen and products from small community businesses. I'm grateful to have a part in spreading joy and happiness in this community market."

Josie of Josie's Brew, a founding vendor who crafts natural hot sauces and kombucha, reflected: "These markets and festivals created a new sense of community and hope in Joelton… When I set up for the Joelton Market, I know I am not only going to see customers, but friends and community members that truly care about their neighbors. That's what I love the most: Community, Hope, and a sense of belonging."

Mike & Nemo of Xtracts LLC / Hemp Factory Outlet / 41A Kitchen & Catering said: "We have enjoyed working with the Joelton Farmers and Makers Market team. We have sponsored events, been a vendor, and have been customers too. We had a blast during the Harvest Festival! The volunteers and vendors were all amazing, and we had one of our best sales days slinging burgers and cheesesteaks. If you are a small business or are running a cottage business on the side, this group is worth checking out for sure. Their commitment to our community and their dedication to pouring resources back into it is a breath of fresh air."

Longtime supporter and Joelton resident Paula Ropp added: "Every community has important parts to make up its whole. Grocery store, post office, restaurants. We, in Joelton, are lucky enough to also have a farmers market. Fresh produce and home made goodies are a treat for us. The folks who put this on, who make this easy for all of us are heroes. I miss the market in the off months and look forward to its return."

From Hempcetera, Bobbi Jo "I love being a part of JF&MM. I setup at many farmers markets around town and JF&MM is one of my favorites, it feels like home. The market gives off a strong family vibe instead of a strictly business market like others. JF&MM provides a consistent place where small businesses like myself can pop up and sell the products that we work so hard on. From the food drives to providing free meals to the first responders I've seen first hand how much JF&MM gives back. Also they put on this extravagant Christmas festival that proves how much they care for the community, Jane goes all out to make sure the kids feel the magic of Christmas. I'm proud to be a member of the JF&MM fam!"
