All of their kettle corn and popcorn is made at their home right before market days. There are always tons of flavors to choose from, but the most popular is the Chicago Style which is a mix of caramel and cheddar popcorn!

Salsas Del Barrio
Juan and Lena created Salsas del Barrio in 2023. When they lived in Mexico they enjoyed eating salsa macha, but when the couple moved to St. Johns they could not find any salsa macha to buy.
This is when Juan decided to begin taking classes at PCC to learn how to start a business of their own. Juan was born and raised in Mexico, once he moved to Oregon he wanted to begin working as fast as possible. Juan and Lena’s business, Salsas del Barrio, is still very new.
Currently, they have one flavor of salsa macha, but they are in the process of creating a second flavor! Their current flavor is olive oil based, and their new flavor is going to have an avocado oil base as well as different dried ingredients!
Follow their Instagram @salsasdelbarrio to stay updated and catch them at the St. Johns Farmers Market and the Cully Farmers Market.
