Greenfield Gardens is a local small business offering unique seedling plants for home gardeners in the Spring and a variety of canned vegetables throughout the year. With all ingredients sourced locally from natural growers, the plants and products are always natural and chemical-free. Female entrepreneur, Jaime Matters began the project in 2011 and is looking to expand production and amp up exposure in 2015 with more local farming partnerships and extended grocery store availability.

Jasmine Cho: Yummyholic
Jasmine Cho launched Yummyholic as a way to blend her passions for pastry, art, and raising awareness on Asian American culture. Yummyholic initially started with foodie-themed shirt designs and then introduced the “nomicake” – a soaked cupcake flavored with different Asian drink concoctions. Jasmine went on to gain funding as a dreamer with Dream Cream Ice Cream and win an Awesome Pittsburgh grant that enabled her to host “Cupcakes & Culture” events in the city. Jasmine hopes to revive Yummyholic’s endeavors in the New Year with a completed menu and more events that bring the community together.
