How and when did the business get started? 

Julia Belle was my mom who passed away in 2015. While cleaning out her house I found a small trunk filled with her recipes. I decided to package some of them to sell at a farmer’s market. It was then that Julia Belle’s went from idea to reality.

Seasonings from Julia Belle's, including Ethiopian Berbere Seasoning, Totally Mixed Up Any Seasoning Salt, and Flamin' Red Hot Cajun

What types of products or services do you offer?

Hand-blended seasonings that are naturally vegan with no GMO, MSG, or artificial colors, with sugar and salt free options. All of our baking and side dish mixes can be made by adding 2-3 ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen.
