My name is Gracie Patton, I’m 14 years old and the founder of Lemonade Llamas. What started in 2023 as a bracelet business quickly grew into a drink brand, and in 2024 I began selling lemonade at the KCK Farmers Market. With support from my family, I introduced Yellow and Pink Lemonade, then expanded to Sweet Hibiscus Tea and our most popular flavor, Sweet Ginger Hibiscus Tea. Today, Lemonade Llamas offers all-natural, agave-sweetened drinks in multiple flavors and sizes, and has grown beyond the market into pop-ups, catering, and retail at The Merc Co+op. We’re proud to continue serving the Kansas City community at the KCK Farmers Market and beyond.
