There’s something special about small businesses — the passion, the craft, and the real people behind it all. This Small Business Saturday, we’re shining a spotlight on two of our favorite local makers who bring a whole lot of flavor and creativity to Wilde Roots.
🥩 Big John’s Jerky – A Local Favorite
If you haven’t tried Big John’s Jerky yet, you’re missing out. John Houser has been perfecting his craft, creating homemade, small-batch jerky that’s as flavorful as it is fresh.
Made from top round Angus beef, John’s jerky is all about quality — no preservatives, no shortcuts, just the kind of snack that hits the spot every single time. It’s chewy, bold, and packed with that classic smoky flavor that jerky lovers crave. Whether you’re looking for an easy grab-and-go snack or something to satisfy your protein fix, Big John’s Jerky is the way to go.
Stop by Wilde Roots and snag a bag. But be warned — it disappears fast.
💎 Trisha’s Treasures – Jewelry with Heart
If you’re more into sparkle than snacks, Trisha’s Treasures has you covered. Trisha creates beautiful, hand-crafted jewelry that’s as unique as the people who wear it.
Each piece is thoughtfully designed, making them perfect for gifting — or let’s be honest, keeping for yourself. It’s handmade, it’s local, and it’s seriously gorgeous.
