Dawson and Irene are new to the Hillhurst Sunnyside Farmers' Market and already fit right in! You might see them with a baby at their booth, or sampling one of their amazing soups, sauces, or weekly specials. Their passion for local and high-quality food is obvious- their fresh pasta is a must try!

Tell us a bit about yourself!
We are Dawson and Irene Holloway and we’re the couple behind Pot and Kettle. Dawson is the #moodychef who creates and cooks all our delicious recipes (sometimes he cleans too!). I am the office admin gal and stay at home mom of 2 girls: Nora, 3 and Sadie, 8 months. Family and food are the most important things to us, and Pot and Kettle is our third baby. We are so excited to bring our delicious food to the markets this summer and have big plans for the years to come!

What is your business?
We make delicious, gourmet soups, sauces and stocks. We have a large variety of frozen options, as well as a fresh weekly feature or two. We also sell two varieties of fresh pasta. We are committed to using local, ethically raised meat, and fresh local produce which we buy directly from the farmers.

How long have you been producing?
We are brand new this year! And we are so excited to be joining 4 markets this summer, with big plans in mind for the coming winter!

Why did you decide to start your business?
Dawson has been passionate about food his whole life. He spends all his time in the kitchen. Dawson shows his love for his family and friends by feeding them delicious, locally inspired meals. Over beers one night, we decided it was high time he bring this labour of love to the people of Calgary. We are so passionate about eating local and supporting small enterprise, it only made sense to join the food community of Calgary!

What makes you so passionate about local enterprise?
Because we like putting money into the pockets of people who are like us, not faceless corporations whose only concern is the bottom line.

How long have you been part of the Hillhurst Sunnyside Farmers' Market?
We are brand new, and so excited to be a part of the family!

Why did you choose Farmers' Markets to sell your products?
We love shopping at farmers’ markets. Especially Dawson, because he knows that the farmers’ market is where you find the best food! We believe that by selling prepared food made with local, ethical ingredients we are the link between farmer and foodie.

What is your favourite thing about the HSCA Farmers' Market?
It’s focus on building a Good Food Community.
