Unique Snacks of America
Owner Martin Schwartz and his wife Rachel are back again this year selling all natural, quality products made by small businesses across the country. They have new products such as allergy free trail mix made by Absurd Snacks, flavored nuts, and even a peanut butter made especially for dogs from Big Spoon. There is also raw honey made with wildflower in lemon or raspberry flavor from the company ZACH & ZOË; which has been featured on Shark Tank. And some old favorites are still available: honey lollipops, handcrafted nut butters, fruit jams, and so much more! The pair work with the businesses directly and many of those businesses use their sales to give back to the community.
You can find them on Facebook and Instagram to keep up to date.
