With sculptor/welder Dennis West, Deb Moodey has designed and created a handheld gardening hoe, improving on one she can no longer find.

The POMM roasts and grinds their own beans to bring out the unique characteristics of their chocolate. They strive to use only organic and all natural ingredients in their products and are excited to share their new product with the HaHo community!

Karen loves lavender!  She started growing lavender in her yard and delivering bouquets to her neighbors over the summers. She took a class on lavender at the botanic gardens and began making products to give away as gifts.  All flowers and herbs she uses are grown in her yard in the Cole neighborhood.  There are no additives or preservatives in any of her products.  She makes a lavender lotion with olive oil, beeswax and lavender.  Her bath bags have lavender or rose, dry milk and oatmeal.  The facial steam contains fennel seed, orange peel and lavender.  She also makes a variety of pestos and a peach lavender and strawberry lavender jam.  Everything is produced in her home kitchen.

Leza will be selling organic, handmade pastries originating in the Czech Republic, in addition to organic rye sourdough bread and rolls, which are very popular in Central Europe and what used to be the Hungary-Austrian Empire.  Additionally, she will have blue corn tortillas on a limited basis, as well as hummus and assorted chutneys, jams and fruit sauces.  This season, Leza is busy putting together bake sales on Metro State's Auraria campus in order to raise money for her one month study abroad program in July 2012 in Prague, Czech Republic!  She is a junior in the Hospitality, Tourism and Events department focusing in Culinary Nutrition and Small Business Entrepreneurship.  

Waste Farmers’ products include organic soil amendements, fertilizers and soil inoculants such as potting soil, worm castings, biochar and compost tea.  These products, all locally sourced, are ecologically sound replacements for peat and other unsustainable non-local alternatives, and utilize recycled organic waste.  Their long term goal is to function as a closed-loop process combining nutrient cycling, food production and energy generation in an integrated system.

Jan Coffelt makes bee products including candles, lip balm and soap made from backyard ingredients and treatment free wax.  She has two backyard hives in which she uses chemical free methods to produce quality local honey and treatment free wax products.  She also creates mason bee houses made from recycled or new 4""x4"" posts from fencing materials, as well as recycled wool products including braided rugs, purses, stuffed toys from recycled wool blankets and coats.

Earth GoGo makes produce, grain, and zippered goodie bags by hand.  The fabric for the bags is almost all recycled and is sourced from vintage stores, thrift stores, and, if bought new, is bought from local family fabric stores.  Additionally, they create chalkboard Mason jars, which also come with chalk.  

Dram Apothecary crafts medicinal bitters using wild-crafted herbs from the state of Colorado, paired with organic exotic citrus, roots, barks and berries.  Their bitters are delicious enough to mix into classic and creative cocktails, while designed to be beneficial for digestion, chronic skin problems, allergies, insomnia and a slew of other complaints of the body.  They also make topical bitters for cats, dogs and chickens to ease the discomfort caused by fleas, sunburn, dry skin and allergies.

Rachel Day creates delectable treats such as Blueberry Meyer Lemon Scones, Oatmeal-Zucchini-Apple Muffins, Cherry Buttermilk Cupcakes, Coconut Cream Pie Cupcakes, Apricot Lavender Tarts, Savory Rosemary Goat Cheese Muffins and Cherry Spice Cakes with a Lemon Glaze.  She also provides healthier options such as granola and Energy Truffles.  Everything is made from scratch using the highest quality ingredients.

Ananda grows gourmet mushrooms at home, including shiitakes, white oysters, and pink oysters.  The oyster mushrooms grow on pasturized wheat straw from local feed stores, while the shiitake mushrooms prefer sterilized hardwood sawdust and wood chips, obtained from the byproduct of local woodworkers.  He is in the process of starting a home business with the goal of selling fresh mushrooms at markets like the HAHO. 

Madeleine creates handcrafted jewelry, made primarily of silver, copper, and semiprecious stones.  Earrings and rings can be made to order to fit your taste and size, and all her jewelry is unique (one of a kind or limited edition) and made from scratch.   Most of the jewelry she makes is either one-of-a-kind or limited editions.  She uses a variety of hand and power tools, but most or all of her work would be considered handmade. 

Katherine makes jams and preserves using local ingredients.  Her flavors during the early months are mostly from organic citrus fruit, but as the summer season progresses the fruit will be obtained from local Colorado farms and picked from local vines and trees.  Flavors available now are Orange, Clove and Cardamom Marmalade, Lemon and Rose Petal Marmalade, Sour Cherry Preserves (from local cherries from summer 2011), Red Onion Jam, Carrot, Ginger and Vanilla Jam, and Blueberry Balsamic Jam will soon be produced when organic berries are available.  In the summer there will be tomato jams, local strawberry jam, peach jam, plum jam, pear and chai jam among others!  

Mandy Oscarson makes natural vegan soaps that look good enough to eat using essential oils and shea butter for the brutal Colorado climate conditions!  Additionally, she makes wire sculpture jewelry, jewelry displays, and is beginning a new line of beauty products (moisture facial serums, washes, hair serums, lip balms) and mineral makeup.

Rebecca makes bloomers girls who wear their skirts on bikes - little extra coverage that's cute to boot!  Having been a biker for quite some time, biking around cities to get just about anywhere, there were times she wanted to wear a skirt without the all the cat calls.  She decided to make something to give herself a little more coverage without resorting to spandex. Thus, Bloomers for Bikers was born. They are shorts with elastic at waist and legs, with cute prints and colors to slip on over underwear, and under skirts when biking in the city.  She obtains her materials from a local fabric company and sews all the bloomers herself.   

Margot designs and creates dried flower wreaths, garlands, swags, small ornaments and Christmas trees with lights.  She makes smaller, more totable items such as hearts filled with dried oranges, lemons, limes (that she dries in dehydrater), nutmeg, ginger peels, cloves and cinnamon.  She also has hand sewn muslin pins covered in antique buttons that are tea stained tan.  Fruit garlands of oranges and apples, bay leaves with fresh cranberries that dry (before market), a dried cranberry/cider mix in a fabric apple and paper leaves to write on.  She grows most of what she uses!

Simply Toys is dedicated to making simple, Waldorf-inspired toys.  All toys and decorations are hand-sewn, so there are literally no two toys that look exactly the same.  Some toys are seasonal items, but there are always small felt horses, magnetic fishing sets, and small felt balls of varying colors.  All felt items are made with ecofelt and natural bamboo stuffing in a smoke-free environment.  She uses natural wood for her fishing poles and all acrylic yarn for horse hair and fishing line.  There are ceramic magnets and stuffing inside muslin pouches at the ends of the fishing lines.  She uses embroidery thread for hand-stitching.

Milan Doshi and Five Point Fermentation creates vegetable fermented products right here in Denver.  Currently, they have 2 varieties - traditional Soul Kraut and Curry Kraut.  All of their produce comes from the state of CO, and they only process in-season.  FPF’s produce comes from their own farm, MoonDog Farms, as well as Grant Family Farms, Delaney Farms and Sprout City Farms.  They do a 4-6 week lacto-fermentation process to their vegetables, which are never pasteurized at any point.  Five Points Fermentation is a new Denver fermentation company dedicated to local community growth and the delivery of the healthiest, freshest, most delicious fermented goods.  They make fermented goods that bring flavor, health and creativity while preserving the old world traditions and giving back to the communities and farms they love.

A social worker by day and an avid cookbook reader and home-baker by night, Jamie will be vending all-natural, handmade aromatherapy play dough, featuring a selection of essential oils to promote calm, focus, energy, and overall mind-body wellness in active children or stressed-out adults. She also makes dough of the edible kind and will be bringing seasonal tarts and pies, sized just right for one or two people (the eat-at-the-market-while-you-stroll variety). She uses as many local and organic ingredients as possible, including local honey, lavender, peaches, apples, and pumpkins.

Mike makes various sizes of Tumbling Composters but will feature his 15 gallon version.  His composters differ from the mass produced, unassembled and  lightweight units from big box stores [most from foreign countries].  He acquires and reuses food grade poly drums from local food companies and air tubes and fasteners from local stores.  The drums are mounted on a sturdy 2x6 weather treated wood stand, and are warrantied for 3 years!  He selected the "Tumbling Composter" design for his own home use, because of its efficient and speedy composting qualities.

Wrapped Jewelry, uniquely designed by Jodi, is one of a kind handmade jewelry.  Jodi's passion is to create a true one of a kind piece. Her wire wrapped and wire design necklaces and earrings are sure to catch your eye.   As Wrapped Jewelry continues to grow, more designs will become available in the Denver area.  Jodi has strong ambitions to take risks, look outside the box and keep moving forward in her business.
