The Sublette County Chamber of Commerce held their 2023 annual gathering on Friday, March 24th at the Museum of the Mountain Man in Pinedale. The event included a scavenger hunt through the Museum where attendees could meet with several of the new small businesses in the county showing some of the food items they had for sale. Several small businesses were on hand from Pinedale, Big Piney and Marbleton displaying their drinks, food services, fresh produce, and custom catering services. Food items were available for sampling including crackers, cheeses, fruits, fresh hydroponic-grown salad greens & vegetables, healthy drinks, freeze dried foods, mini cheesecakes and cookies. The Boulder Store provided a cash bar for the event. Prizes for the scavenger hunt included an arrowhead necklace and custom engraved pocket knives.

Chamber Executive Director, Kaddy Fyfe Shivers gave out their annual awards for several categories. Chamber members voted on their choices for these awards.

Winners were:
Business of the Year: Engel & Völkers - Big Piney
– Sierra Banks (sierrabanks.evrealestate.com/)
Non-Profit of the Year: Main Street Pinedale, (www.mainstreetpinedale.com)
Going Green Business: Log Cabin Motel, Pinedale – Sofia and Forest Wakefield (www.thelogcabinmotel.com/)

Highlighted businesses were:
Mountain Fresh Produce and Secret Garden Café
: This is a brand new business that hopes to be open by mid-April in Pinedale. They will be located at 461 S Pine Street. Sisters Sierra and Savannah Sherman were at the event to showcase their products. They will be offering local hydroponic-grown fresh produce. Hydroponics means these plants are grown in water instead of soil, which allows them to grow up to 50% faster. Mountain Fresh Produce does not use any sprays, pesticides or harmful chemicals of any kind, so produce is clean, fresh, and toxin-free. Currently they have a variety of lettuces, kale, arugula, mustard greens, water cress, bok choy, lemon balm, basil, parsley, oregano, peppermint, chives, cilantro, carrots and radishes. Coming soon will be spinach, dill, thyme, tomatoes, egg plant, squash, cucumbers, onions, sugar snap peas, peppers, leaks, broccoli, Brussel sprouts, artichokes, celery, mushrooms, dragon fruit, watermelon, berries, and avocadoes. They will also have different kinds of berries and citrus fruits imported. Customers will also be able to taste a lot of their products and purchase fresh produce in their up-front retail cafe. They will be offering weekly pick-up orders with free home-delivery in Pinedale on orders over $50. They can be reached at 307-749-2740 (Vikki) or 307-749-6407 (Savannah), by email at mountainfresh.wy@gmail.com, or on the web at www.Mountain-Fresh-Produce.com. (They’re looking for help, if interested, let them know.)

RutRoe Survival Supply – Freeze Dried Foods: Stacey Roe was on hand to give samples of her wide variety of freeze dried foods. These included several different kinds of ice cream and candy snacks. Freeze drying is a process of removing water from foods, which extends their shelf life and makes them more transportable. Imagine being up in the mountains for a long backpacking trip and getting to having the treat (but not the mess) of ice cream! Products that were showcased included freeze dried mint chocolate chip ice cream, blue cookie crunch ice cream, birthday cake ice cream, cotton candy ice cream, chocolate mudslide ice cream, s’mores ice cream, sprinkled animal cookie ice cream, pumpkin pie, star bursts, skittles, nerd crunchy clusters, and Greek yogurt strawberry bites. All these and more are great for healthy snacks as well as convenient foods to take on hiking trips and outings. RutRoe Survival Supply can be found on Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp.
