🌱 Meet Your Local Vendors: Sweetiepea’s Sweets 🌱
Meet Kelli Palmer, the heart behind Sweetiepea’s Sweets! Born and raised right here in Benton, Kelli was a longtime farmers market shopper before finding the courage to step behind the table as a vendor — and she’s been sharing her love of baking with the community ever since.
Sweetiepea’s Sweets offers a variety of homemade baked goods, each made with care and a true passion for bringing people together through food.
Her journey started with a simple conversation in high school. When Kelli was unsure about her future, her mom reminded her that baking was her happy place — the thing that truly lit her up. That moment sparked a dream that has now become a reality. From there, Kelli imagined a space filled with people connecting over something simple and joyful: good food.
What she loves most about being a vendor is the connection — meeting new people each week, building relationships, and even seeing familiar faces through her sister, who often joins her at the market. She also treasures the friendships formed with fellow vendors, sharing laughs and even trading goods with one another.
To Kelli, shopping local means empowering small businesses and supporting your neighbors. It’s about finding fresh, unique, and personal items you simply can’t get anywhere else.
A fun fact: Sweetiepea’s Sweets is a woman-owned, family-run business! Kelli’s mom and sister are right by her side, helping with packaging, labeling, and setting up each week.
A must-try favorite? Her lemon squares — made with real, fresh lemon and baked to perfection. No matter how many batches she makes, they’re still just as irresistible every time. 🍋
Be sure to stop by Sweetiepea’s Sweets this season and treat yourself to something homemade and delicious 💛
