What an incredible way to wrap up this year’s World Food & Music Festival ! ❤️ We SOLD OUT of everything!

After more than two weeks of nonstop work and preparation, your enthusiasm, support, and kind words made it all worth it. Thank you to our longtime customers who came out to support us, and to all the new customers who gave our food a try. Thank you for patiently waiting in line and for being so understanding of our little imperfections. Your support means so much to a small, handmade business like ours.

Because we sold out of all our inventory—something we honestly didn’t expect—we have to adjust our schedule this week to restock and make everything fresh by hand🥟. Unfortunately, we won’t be able to attend the Valley Junction Farmers Market this Thursday.

📅 THIS WEEK‘S SCHEDULE UPDATE:

❌ Thursday: Cancelled for Valley Junction Farmers Market

✅ Saturday: Downtown
Farmers’ Market (As usual!)

✅ Sunday: Regular Pop-Up

Thank you for your understanding. ❤️ See you Saturday!

The annual World Food & Music Festival is FINALLY here this weekend, and we are so proud to say this is our 5th year participating! 🥳✨ Time flies when you‘re wrapping dumplings!

Keeping things 100% traditional means a massive workload for us. From kneading the dough, rolling it out, mixing the perfect Northern Chinese fillings, to wrapping them up—every dumpling gets the handmade touch. It’s an exhausting but rewarding challenge, and we really hope our hard work pays off for you this weekend! 🥰🥟

Find us at Booth #31 for your fresh dumpling fix!

⏱️ Catch us here (Aug 28-30):

* Fri & Sat: 11:00 AM - 10:00 PM
* Sun: 11:00 AM - 5:00 PM

We can‘t wait to see you all! ❤️🥢

We’ve been making dumplings nonstop since the farmers market season began—and we’re still struggling to keep up with demand.

For a small family business, producing this many dumplings is a huge challenge. Every single one is made completely by hand, from preparing the filling and rolling the wrappers to folding each dumpling individually.

There are no shortcuts here—just long days, late nights, and a lot of love for what we do.

Your support and enthusiasm continue to amaze us, and we truly couldn’t do this without you. Thank you for choosing handmade food and for making this journey possible. You are our greatest motivation. ❤️🥟

Find us every week:

📍 Thursday | 4:00–8:00 PM
Valley Junction Farmers Market

📍 Saturday | 7:00 AM–12:00 PM
Downtown Farmers Market

📍 Sunday | 5:30–9:00 PM
Kitchen Spaces Pop-Up
1139 24th St, Des Moines

Because of our production capacity, we aren’t able to take on additional events this year. The only festival we’ll be attending in 2026 is the World Food & Music Festival at the end of August.

We can’t wait to see you there!
