Growing up in Milwaukee, surrounded by Artists and Foodies, now moving on from a long career in teaching, I share my love of entertaining, cooking and baking with my new Knoxville community! Happy bellies. Happy Hearts. Create. Play. Repeat.

Mama Bear started as a fundraiser for the Knox Pride Rainbow Teen group and has grown into a movement to spread love and acceptance. We make some of the best cookies you’ve ever tasted but our focus is on giving back to the LGBTQ community and showing our community radical love and acceptance.
Moonlight Baker
I’m an entrepreneur and make homemade decorated sugar cookies from scratch with royal icing. I can make custom orders but prefer to do large quantities for special occasions and holidays. I can provide for more people at markets this way. I offer gluten free, vegan, gingerbread, lemon, choc chip and cinnamon hazelnut (sugar cookie flavors ) periodically. The cookies come individually heat sealed and last 2-3 weeks when stored properly as well. I’m not very fast and require planning and a lot of supplies so but I can usually make enough for 1-3 markets per month depending on the holiday.

Ruth Shelton, The Empirical Herbalist has over 20 years of experience working with people and plants. Her motto “A Better Life Through Herbs” reflects the belief that herbs can be used to enrich all aspects of life and her mission is to help others reap those benefits.
Dust to Dust Studio
Items made at Dust to Dust Studio stem from a love for nature, food, and the home. Risings Moons Farms is home and where I get to harvest garden produce and collect farm fresh eggs. These tasks feed into my art practice by allowing me to create functional items for the home and garden that are also decorative and explore farm to table goods. My broom and ceramic pieces are inspired by nature, and I enjoy using the smaller moments in nature, such as fungi, to embellish and guide my planters or other household goods such as herb strippers, cups, bowls, and brooms.
Shannon Deana Johnson
I am a mixed media artist inspired by nature and the creative process. The organic shapes, textures and colors found in nature are a constant source of peace and wonder. I seek to capture the essence of my experience with nature in my art and share it with those who view it. When painting, I allow the medium to do what it naturally does with gentle guidance. It is a meditative process and a balance between harmony and contrast, simplicity and accumulation, and stillness and motion.

Healthy Taste, inc.
Our organization is going on it's 7th year of offering a plant based (vegan friendly) food festival. Our 2nd year as a 501c3.
Our primary focus is on plant based whole foods that help improve your health and immune system. We try to get as many resources as we can to come together into one event and then showcase those resources in an annual festival.
Although we believe in the ethical treatment of animals, our primary focus is on plant based foods and education. We also have a strong desire to help any small business that aligns with our values, particularly minority and veteran owned. We do this by offering local exposure, and sometimes, subsidized exhibit space at our events.
Our priority is making our festivals family friendly and suitable for all ages, so we restrict certain products and content. We would love to have have local non-food artisans participate in our festivals as well. Contact us to find out more details.
