Within weeks, they found themselves as some of the top vendors at 2 San Diego Farmer’s markets (Otay Ranch and Downtown San Diego). Within a month they were in 2 more. Sales are practically doubling every week at this point and the buzz is electrifying. Spudz Potato looked to DoggHouse Productions for some help designing a professional website for their business.
