Nonni's Mini Donuts at Winter Park Farmers Market

On a sunny morning at the Winter Park Farmers' Market, the smell of fresh donuts drifted through the crowd as Andy Holland stopped by one of the market’s most popular booths, Nonni’s Mini Donuts. Kathy, one of the owners, shared the story behind the family business, explaining how a vacation to Alaska unexpectedly inspired their dream. While visiting a local market there, she watched a mini donut vendor draw long lines of happy customers and realized there was something special about the simple joy donuts could bring. Inspired by the experience, she and her husband returned home, researched the business, and launched their own mini donut company just three months later.

Since then, Nonni’s Mini Donuts has become a familiar favorite at markets and events throughout Central Florida. Kathy said one of the best parts of being at the Winter Park Farmers Market is the sense of community among both vendors and customers. She described the market as a place filled with friendly faces, helpful neighbors, and happy memories. For Kathy, donuts are more than just a sweet treat — they remind people of good times. Before wrapping up the interview, she encouraged anyone chasing a dream to take the leap without hesitation. “Just do it,” she said. “Do it, and do it now.”
