Firedrake Arts
What do you offer at the market?
I make/offer handmade and custom leather work. My work includes everything from custom fitted belts and personalized holsters or knife sheaths to full grain leather purses and wallets.

What inspired you to start your business?
When I was a kid my AbuĆ©lita brought me back a leather pouch from Mexico that I carried everywhere until I wore it out. When I eventually needed a replacement as a teenager I couldnā€™t find a proper one anywhere so I decided to learn to make my own. Ten years later here I am with my own leather business.

What does being a part of the market mean to you?
Being a member of the Cortez Market is very important to me as I am of the opinion that any community is incomplete without craftsmen to provide various skilled trade items. I believe that a communityā€™s soul is reflected in what its people create.

What is your favorite market memory?
My favorite moments at market are definitely ones where I meet likeminded people that I can work with for years to come!

What do you wish more people knew about your business?
One thing that I think people can miss about a handmade product/booth is how much time and individuality every stitch and seam has in it. Youā€™re getting a one of a kind item every time you purchase from a small craftsman and we remember and appreciate you forever!

SongHaven Farm
What do you offer at the market?
SongHaven Farm offers organically grown produce, herbs and value added food items such as pickles, relish and jams.

What inspired you to start your business?
We were inspired to grow for the market some twenty years ago because we saw a need in the community for fresh, healthy food.

What does being a part of the market mean to you?
Being part of the market means bringing the bounty of of our land and our hard work in to our friends and neighbors of Cortez every Saturday hoping that they will show up and support our local market.

What is your favorite market memory?
My favorite memory is actually when our old 1966 Chevy truck couldnā€™t make it to market because of mechanical issues and we had to rush and put everything in a different vehicle to get to town from Ca**ne. When we showed up to market an hour late everyone helped get our booth setup.

What do you wish more people knew about you and your products? I wish people knew just how hard their farmers work and the sacrifices they make to provide this food to the community. I wish more people felt a relationship between the food that they consume, the land it came from and all the embodied energy that went into cultivating that seed into a plant and this beautiful red dirt into life giving soil.

What did you make with your fresh produce from the market this week? We made rhubarb crisb!
ā–”4 cups diced fresh rhubarb
ā–¢2 cups raspberries
ā–¢1 cup sugar
ā–¢2 tablespoons water
ā–¢1 cup all-purpose flour
ā–¢Ā½ cup sugar
ā–¢Ā½ teaspoon cinnamon
ā–¢Ā½ teaspoon kosher salt
ā–¢Ā½ cup unsalted butter cold and cubed

Place the rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350Ā°F.
In a large bowl, combine rhubarb, raspberries, 1 cup sugar, and water. Mix to coat fruit evenly. Spoon into a shallow 1 Ā½ quart casserole dish or a 10-inch pie dish, which is what I did.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, remaining Ā½ cup sugar, cinnamon and salt.

Cut in the butter with a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture comes together and is crumbly and homogenous. There will be no visible pieces of butter left. It should be clumpy. You can also do this in a food processor. Sprinkle evenly over the fruit mixture.
Bake at 350Ā°F for about 50 minutes. The topping should be golden brown and you should see the fruit bubbling up around the edges. Enjoy! šŸ¤©šŸ˜‹šŸ†šŸ„¬šŸ«›šŸ„”šŸŠšŸŽšŸ„•šŸŒ½

PanPan Sourdough
What do you offer at the market?
PanPan offers health, real taste, and tradition in the form of sourdough breads and pastries. PanPanā€™s artisan breads are hand-made with love, keeps fresh or frozen, and has a unique taste and texture that folks keep coming back to.

What inspired you to start your business?
When I first arrived in the US, my stomach couldnā€™t handle the breads in the grocery store. So I started making sourdough. Ever since I was little, Iā€™ve loved the entire process of kneading, baking, and of course smelling freshly baked bread.

What does being a part of the market mean to you?
For me, being part of the farmerā€™s market is about keeping our traditions alive.

What is your favorite market memory?
My favorite memories are seeing the faces of our ā€œrepeat offendersā€ light up as they arrive at our booth, and seeing hard work turn into joy and become part of familiesā€™ routines on Saturdays. Knowing that my breads make it onto tables throughout Montezuma County is the best reward.

What do you wish more people knew about your products?
A lot of people think all sourdough breads are sour. Theyā€™re not! Another fun fact is I start baking around midnight and stop around 7 AM Saturday morningā€”which is why some things are still warm to the touch at the Market!
