We have one more Bradenton Public Market haul of the 2025-2026 season to organize and post, and then after that we'll be working on a really fun haul overview post! This will take us quite a bit of time to count everything up from our recorded 32 weeks of hauls (since we missed 3 of the markets this season), but it will be really cool to see once it's done! We bet our Spare Kitchen biscuit consumption this season was over 150 biscuits between the whole fam!

Today was the final Bradenton Public Market of the season, and we wanted to express our deep gratitude for the Realize Bradenton staff that work so hard to put this market on and make it as amazing as it is each Saturday, the City of Bradenton Public Works employees who help keep us safe with the bollards/barricades and keep the streets looking tidy, the fellow vendors (as we lovingly refer to as "friendors") that we've grown to think of as family, and the community that continues to come out week after week to support and shop local! ❤️🙏

We look forward to seeing you all when the market returns for the next season on the first Saturday of October! In the mean time, keep a close eye on the page here for updates on where to find our cookies this summer! 🍪 🌞
