From Dirt to Dollars: A Guide to Selling at the Farmers Market
will give you the low down on what to plant and how to sell it!
Markets can be a great way to supplement your income – in fact, some people attend several weekly markets and make enough from markets to pay their monthly bills.
I enjoyed doing it so much, I wrote this book about it and I want to fill you in on a ton of information that will help. Here’s how to sell your produce at the Farmers Market.
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!
