What do you really gain from setting up at a market? Sometimes it's great sales. Sometimes it's new customers. And sometimes it's something you never expected.

This week we're joined by Celine a small-town business owner, Heirloom Market vendor, and now one of the people helping bring Camp Heirloom Market to life.

We talk about why markets are about so much more than what happens at your checkout table, how showing up consistently creates opportunities long after the event ends, and why social media doesn't have to be perfect to make an impact.

Celine also shares what inspired her to invest in her community, the joy of building something bigger than herself, and what really goes on behind the scenes to create the Camp Heirloom Market experience.

Whether you're a maker, a small business owner, or someone dreaming of taking the leap, this conversation is full of encouragement, perspective, and a reminder that the biggest wins aren't always the ones you can count.

Five years ago, Desiree brought Lemon Love to the Camp Heirloom Market for her very first event. What started as a lemonade truck became something much bigger. It's not only a full on business, but a community, and a source of purpose during a season when she needed it most.

In this episode of Camp Heirloom Radio, Desiree shares the story behind Lemon Love, how lemonade unexpectedly changed the course of her life, and why she continues to pour her heart into every event. We talk about building a loyal customer following, the realities of running a food truck business, and how her success has inspired family members to launch their own Lemon Love locations across the country.

This conversation is about entrepreneurship, resilience, family, and the surprising ways a simple idea can grow into something life-changing.
