As with our traditional canned goods, we also pride ourselves in carrying on the 80-year tradition of making maple syrup at Reim’s Camp and are confident, if you haven’t tried our syrup yet, you will be a customer for life, once you do! On Saturdays, our oldest son, Kyzer, will also be selling lemonade, so be sure to swing by and support the 2nd generation of Sugar Shanty!
Woof’em Down Bakery
https://woofemdownbakery.com
507-995-6936 | woofemdownbakery23@gmail.com
Woof’em Down Bakery was created in the late winter, early spring of 2023. Our business is a combination of my love of baking and a love for dogs. We had a Yorkie-Poo, and later in his life, he developed renal issues. The food from the vet was so unappealing, as were any treats out on the market. We began researching ways to create healthy food and treats for him at home. With the natural ingredients used in our treats, including spent grains from Schell’s Brewery and honey from Gardner Bees, we created treats for all dogs with better flavor and healthier quality.
Zeitgeist Gifting

612-242-8567 | sales@zeitgeistgifting.com
Hi, I’m Allie. The concept for Zeitgeist Gifting was born out of the idea that while the last few years have been difficult, it has been a beautiful catalyst for change and creation for many, myself included. I’ve discovered along the way so many wonderful makers in our community and wanted to bring together a collection of thoughtful, handmade products from earnest companies to showcase the best spirit of the times. These items have come together in themed gift boxes great for a wide variety of interests. Along the way, I also discovered a love for creating jewelry and accessories from polymer clay and a bit of an obsession with baking scones as well! I hope you (or whoever you are gifting them to) enjoy the end product. Thank you for being open to the unexpected.
