• Mama Bath + Body (May 5; Aug 4; Sept 1; Oct 6): Based in Atlanta, GA, Mama B+B is a culmination of almost 3 years of research and development, and a life-long love of body products. A lot of people ask if my workshop is like a lab, but really, it’s more like a kitchen. It is stocked full of raw ingredients like shea butter, coconut oil, herbs and essential oils, and is packed with kitchen utensils like blenders, grinders, mixers and measuring spoons.  I formulate, manufacture, pour and package every batch by hand. I produce my own labels, design my own website, write my own copy and keep my own books. Mama is more than just a business for me. It’s a lifestyle, a way to keep myself inspired. Love yo Mama, Emilie.

• SkinFood Cafe (July 7, Aug 25, Oct 13 – Nov 17): Fresh handmade bath & body products.

When you really enjoy what you do, people can taste it with each and every bite.

• Oakleaf Mennonite Farm (All season, but currently experiencing production difficulties): We are an educational farm located less than 3 miles from ELF Market.
