How to Sell Vegetables at Farmers Markets

 

Get an idea of what SELLS at the market

Hit up a few local markets and take note of what is selling. It is a great idea to go first thing in the morning and scope out all the stalls.

Make some notes! Then go back about half an hour before the market closes and see what is missing and what is gone.

This will give you a fairly good idea of what items sell.

 

Plan (and plant) your vegetable garden

Take the time to thoughtfully consider your seed choices and get them in the ground.

You can plant seeds closely together; thin them as they grow.

You can take thinnings (of a decent size) to market and sell as “babies”. Baby carrots, baby beets, etc.

Plan Your Farmers Market Booth

You NEED a good looking stall. Actually, you need a GREAT looking stall – presentation counts. Make it inviting and colourful!

Put some thought into it and get feedback from friends and family.

Accept constructive criticism to make your booth even better!
