Sanaia Applesauce
Founded by Keisha Smith Jeremie, she realized many adults like applesauce as much as kids do. The problem was there wasn’t a lot of adult products like applesauce. So, she took matters into her own hands and created “adult-like” flavors like guava, hibiscus, lavender pear, and more.
Trade Street Jam
Founded by Ashley Marie Rouse and let me tell you this is not your average jam. This is not the regular jam that you pop on a top of toast. No honey, this is more than that. This jam serves as salad dressings, cocktails, BBQ sauces, marinade, and whatever else you can think of.
