After three successful years serving travelers and residents in the Carson Pass corridor, Mad Dog Café and Market, located on Highway 88 in Woodfords, is transitioning to new owners. Carson Valley residents Kim and McKinna Jackson will take the reins on Jan. 1, 2021. Originally established by Woodfords businesswoman Jennifer Quillici in 2017, the market has provided a unique eating and shopping experience for travelers and locals alike.

Kim was born and raised between Tahoe and Gardnerville and lived in Markleeville for 12 years. She is actively involved as a Captain with the Alpine County Volunteer Fire Department. McKinna, Kim’s daughter, was also born and raised in the Carson Valley and is involved in local equestrian activities, including the Carson Valley Roping Club and flag team for the Reno Rodeo.

Mad Dog Café and Market is located at 290 Old Pony Express Way featuring specialty sandwiches, baked goods and gourmet gifts. | (530) 694-2930, Mad Dog Cafe on Facebook
