MEET OUR TEAM
Darcy
Owner
Darcy Kennedy, co-owner of Steel Goat Marketplace, is one of the visionary minds behind the vibrant community space. Together with her co-owner, Jayme, Darcy has poured immense hard work and dedication into curating a unique marketplace where vendors can showcase and sell their products with ease. Her passion for supporting local artisans and fostering a creative environment shines through in every corner of the marketplace.
Jayme
Owner
Email: jlvphlg@gmail.com
Jayme, co-owner of Steel Goat Marketplace, has deep roots in small business. Her journey began with “Penn Hills Lawn and Garden,” a thriving garden center she ran with her mom. Over the years, this modest shop blossomed into a beloved community hub. When the pandemic struck, Jayme and Darcy saw an opportunity to grow and decided to extend the upstairs gift shop into a full-blown vendor marketplace. The garden center still thrives today, albeit a bit smaller and more focused. On certain days, you can still find Jayme in her section, “Gardening with Jayme,” sharing her love of plants with the community.
