Farmers Market Team Member

About us:

I started Just Bananas June of 2022 at the Carlsbad Farmers Market when I was 16. The product we offer, banana whip, is something that my grandparents have made for me since I was little. I have always wanted to start my own business. And I realized this would be the perfect way to start since banana whip is a delicious, healthy, single ingredient dessert that would be new to North County.

I decided that Farmers Markets would be the perfect place to start offering my product to North County. Since I have started, people seem to really love Just Bananas. We are now at the Leucadia Farmers Market. As well as the Carlsbad Farmers Market as a fill in vendor, (if another vendor calls out). We may be in some more Farmers Markets soon! Plus we make an excellent addition to private parties and events.

• Leucadia Farmers Market / Every Sunday, 10am-2pm

In the near future, my goal is to expand Just Bananas to a small brick and mortar location in a splendid local coastal area!
