Why Farmers Markets Matter—for Small Businesses and Spoiled Pets

At Spoiled Pets, we believe that how you feed your pet says everything about how much you love them. But what about how you shop?

This summer, we’re hitting some of Colorado’s top farmers markets—and here’s why that matters, both for us and for you.

🛍️ Farmers Markets Fuel Small Business Growth

Farmers markets aren’t just weekend events—they're economic lifelines. For small businesses like ours, markets offer:

• Face-to-face customer connections: Nothing beats telling our brand story, educating on freeze-dried nutrition, and seeing customers react in real time.
  

• Immediate feedback: We can test new products, packaging, and pricing in a live setting.
  

• Increased visibility: Every booth becomes a mini billboard for Spoiled Pets.
  

• Lower barriers to entry: Unlike retail shelf space or major expos, farmers markets allow early-stage brands to scale visibility without huge upfront costs.
  

This summer marks our very first season in farmers markets—and we couldn’t be more excited. These markets are where we’re starting to build our community, connect with our first superfans, and share our freeze-dried treats with pet parents face-to-face for the very first time.

🐾 Why You Should Visit a Farmers Market This Summer

Beyond supporting small businesses, markets are vibrant hubs of discovery. Here’s why visiting us in person is worth it:

• Try before you buy – Sample our treats and meals and ask questions about ingredients, sourcing, and feeding tips.
  

• Exclusive bundles & discounts – We offer special market-only pricing to thank you for shopping small.
  

• Free product education – Confused about freeze-dried vs. raw vs. kibble? We’ll walk you through it all.
  

• Meet the humans behind the brand – We’re a Latina- and Black-owned, Gen Z-founded company on a mission to spoil pets with clean nutrition. Get to know us!
