Last weekend at the Meridian Township Farmers Market, I met up with my cousins Brian and Rion for brunch at the Purple Carrot. While we were waiting, we saw our friend Josh Holliday, who told us that he just had the best popsicle of his life. Okay, tell us more, Josh! It turns out he bought a mango popsicle from a cute little cart across the bridge.
We could see the colorful umbrella pop through the trees and other vendor tents. After bringing our brunch over to a picnic table on that side of the farmers market, our little popsicle queen Stella asked if she could get one.
We walked over to the cart and met Dave of DavePops. All of Dave’s specialty popsicles are handmade and feature all natural ingredients, but one thing they don’t include is dairy! For anyone with a dairy intolerance, these would be a great treat.
DavePops is currently located in St. Johns, Michigan, and last Saturday was his first time at the Meridian Township Farmers Market. He originally started DavePops when he lived in California.
He was even featured in a segment on Good Day Sacramento to talk about his popsicles:
Dave told me he recently relocated back to Michigan and plans to be at the farmers market throughout the season. Follow the DavePops Facebook page to see when and where the cart will appear.
By the way, Stella chose the Concord Grape flavor. She let me sneak a couple of tastes, and it was pretty darn tasty. I can’t wait to go back and try one of the flavors with chocolate, like the Chocolate Cherry Chocolate Chip or Hazelnut Chocolate Chip (insert all of the heart eye emojis).
