ABOUT THE PRODUCT/VENDORS
After spending years living off-grid Maui and seeing the impact of our choices as consumers Karina from Altar Ceramics wanted to create a line of objects that was aligned with her values of sustainability, minimalism and aesthetics. Having lived in small spaces all of her adult life, a lot of thought and care that goes into the few items she keeps in her home, optimally these items are functional, beautiful and sourced ethically.
Majority of pickles available in stores contain emulsifiers, food dyes and additives. Dennelyn "Dee" Siazon, owner of Real Mojo Foods, saw an opportunity to create the same tasty pickles you grew up eating, without the extra preservatives. She was born and raised in the midwest and she and her family would pick bushels of apples, berries and vegetables during the summer U Pick season as a favorite pastime. This is where her love of food preservation all started! Dee and her mother Delia "Mama Mojo" would bake, jam and can all of the produce and gift their wares to family and friends. Since relocating to the Bay Area and eventually calling Sacramento home, Dee has turned her hobby into a full fledged business creating handcrafted pickles and sauces.
Janeen and Rodrigo Cruz are the husband and wife duo behind Kuali. Janeen is the daughter of Mexican immigrants from El Ejido Hermosillo, Baja California, MX and Rodrigo is an immigrant from México City, MX. Kuali’s story starts in their home kitchen in Oakland, CA. Kuali was established in 2020, mid-pandemic, because they refused to settle for the inauthentic salsas in the U.S. market. They mean to introduce an authentic, bold and unapologetic salsa experience. When you taste our salsas you’ll think “esto es México.”
