The Betty Co. makes handmade dog bandanas, bow ties and other specialty items for dogs and dog parents, such as T-shirts, scrunchies and drinkware.

I started creating dog bandanas because of my love for my dog, Betty, and wanting her to be fashionable.

I am self-taught and learned to make my dog bandanas by trial and error.

I have been selling my products for three years.

Do you do this full time or is this a side business or hobby?

I do this as a side business, and I am also a full-time nursing student.

What about the farmers market makes it beneficial to you as a business?

It gives me a chance to connect with people from the community and to connect with other market vendors.

I enjoy meeting new people from the community. I love building relationships with repeat customers who come to the market so their dogs can show off their bandanas.

What’s your favorite item that you sell?

My favorite item to sell is my slip-on dog bandanas as they are so easy to use and look adorable on your pups.

What products from other vendors do you enjoy?

I enjoy all of the items sold at the market, from the local produce, baked goods and specialty coffees. Betty’s favorite is the I.P.A. Bites from Purple Shamrock Farm.

Why do you think folks should shop the farmers market?

It is a great opportunity to support local farmers/creators. It is also a nice way to connect with others from the community.
