🌟 Vendor Spotlight: Sacks Second Avenue – Le Mars 🌟
If you've ever stopped by Sacks Second Avenue – Le Mars, you've probably noticed there's a little bit of everything! A friend once described Corinne Brouwer's booth as a "general store" of the Farmer's Market, and it's easy to see why.
Since joining the Farmer's Market in 2018, Corinne has grown her business from selling reusable Christmas gift bags into a booth filled with practical, handmade creations. Her husband even came up with the clever business name as a play on Saks Fifth Avenue.
Today you'll find an incredible variety of handmade items including:
🧵 Hot & cold corn bags
🧦 Sack Socks for storing plastic bags
🥣 Bowl and ice cream pint cozies
🐾 Dog bandanas
☕ Java jackets
👓 Glasses cases
🎁 Reusable fabric gift bags
🧺 Homemade laundry detergent
🥕 Plus seasonal garden produce!
It's truly a family affair at Sacks Second Avenue. Corinne's youngest son offers delicious mini donuts and chocolate chip cookie dough balls, while her oldest son creates Perler bead designs and mini lumbar support pillows. Together with Corinne's dad, they proudly operate a three-generation Farmer's Market booth.
Corinne loves creating products that are both functional and fun, and she's always willing to try something new. In fact, her motto has become, "I don't right now, but I can!" She also enjoys taking on custom sewing and mending projects, including heartfelt memorial keepsakes made from a loved one's clothing.
When asked what she enjoys most about the Farmer's Market, Corinne says it's the sense of community. Whether it's helping each other chase down products on a windy day, making new friends, or meeting visitors from near and far, she treasures being part of the Le Mars Farmer's Market family.
Be sure to stop by Sacks Second Avenue this Saturday to browse the unique selection of handmade items, tasty treats, and fresh produce—you never know what treasure you'll discover!
📍 You can also find Sacks Second Avenue – Le Mars on Facebook, at area vendor fairs throughout the year, and seasonally at Piece of Cake Bakery in Le Mars from mid-November until Farmer's Market season begins again.
