Both locations host some of El Paso’s most talented vendors. Established in 2017, this market’s goal is to highlight local makers, curators, bakers, and artisans all while striving to create a safe and friendly atmosphere for them to showcase their work.

Don’t let the name fool you, Weirdo Beardo Jerky also packages vegan jerky - a little something for everyone! Their beef jerky is cut thick and made from a variety of Mexican carne seca while their vegan jerky is made from eggplants and has a crisp potato chip like bite to it. Although available in a variety of flavors, we recommend the Ghost Pepper and Green Chili flavors.

We couldn’t keep our hands off the hoodies, jackets, and dresses. For those that can’t make it to the market you can find Pawpy Love on Etsy as well.

Specializing in local raw honey, Buzzbee Honey Company also sells three varieties of soap containing local honey, raw honey, oatmeal and honey, and wildflower.
