Latina-owned business breaking barriers at farmers market in Wayne, Pennsylvania [Video]

WAYNE, Pa. (CBS) — A woman making Latin American comfort food is breaking barriers at a farmers market in Wayne, while spreading her love for empanadas and embracing her heritage. 

These golden brown empanadas infused with an array of sweet and savory fillings have become much more than just a crispy handheld staple at the Lancaster County Farmers Market. 

“I usually call them pockets of love,” Veronica Fitzgerald, owner of V Empanadas, said.

Fitzgerald first started making the fried on-the-go meals for her friends and family in 2009 as a way to tap into her Ecuadorian culture after moving to the U.S. at age 14 with her family.  

“I just decided to teach myself how to make some of the things that brought me back to when I was young and my tradition,” she said.
