Featured Farmers’ Market Vendor Wheelie Awesome Natural Products
Wynne Turner began making soaps when she discovered that one of her children was sick—and it wasn’t genetic, it was environmental. She began exploring ways to reduce toxins in their home environment and in their personal care products. An avid baker, Wynne decided that making soap was akin to baking—measure and mix—and has been exploring new soap and body care product-making techniques using natural and organic ingredients ever since. 
She started selling her products in her husband’s Rosemount bicycle shop (hence the name, Wheelie) and finds soap making a creative outlet and a change of pace from her regular job in legal compliance. Now also doing custom orders, Wynne is working with bed & breakfasts to supply their soaps.

Featured Artist: Shirley Jones of Plymouth Avenue Art Studio
As an artist and newly retired St. Paul art teacher, Shirley Jones brings not only creativity and ability to her art, but also brings intent to everything she makes. In a nod to jewelry traditionally made by Berber nomads from found objects, Shirley makes Berber necklaces that have a randomness to them. Her Red Pepper Jewelry evokes the stories of escaped slaves who carried red pepper to mask their scent from dogs. Stop by her booth to hear the stories that inspired her African Angels, Robin Island jewelry, and more.
A skilled jeweler, Shirley uses gemstones, found objects, and brass in her jewelry, hand making her bezels and settings, cutting and filing metal, and soldering pieces.

The Gohlike family has been tapping maple trees and making maple syrup for three generations in the same woods near Lonsdale, MN. Their syrup is 100% pure maple syrup 
with no additives or preservatives. The Gohlikes first cook the syrup in an evaporator over a wood fire, and then they filter, bottle, and seal it. Bottles have a fliptop cap for easy pouring.
In the early 1990’s, Barbara came across some clay in the woods, took it home, searched for information, cleaned the clay, made pinch pots, and fired them in the fireplace. She says, “Loved it. Loved the idea of starting with earth and ending with dishes.”
eing glazed. Her high temperature firing (2350 °F), in either a propane kiln or a wood-fired kiln, gives a strong, nonporous body and a hard glaze that is resistant to scratching and leaching, also making pieces microwave- and dishwasher-safe.
Brad loves to bring out the natural beauty of wood in everything he makes. Seeking out wood with lots of character, he uses wood from farmers and small lumber mills, and creates in simple styles to feature the 
woods’ grains, knots and colors. Some of his most striking pieces have a natural edge. Having expanded from making occasional tables and small pieces like cutting boards and wine racks to dog dishes, plant stands, mirrors and garbage cans, Brad has been selling his work for about seven years and does custom work as well.
Josh Ruebeck is a Carleton College student with a love and appreciation for folk music that belies his youth. A musician since he was 7 years old, Josh gravitated to the music of Woody Guthrie, Phil Ochs and Bob Dylan because of the stories told in those songs. The music inspired him to learn to play the guitar, the cello, and develop his voice into a fine instrument as well. He and fellow Carleton student Briannon Carlsen will be sharing their favorite folk songs this Saturday.
