Ideas For Your Farmers Market Booth Or Vegetable Stand
Posted by Ramkitten 665 days ago (http://www.squidoo.com)
Once upon a time, Steve and I lived on a farm. And on that farm we had a garden, full of organic vegetables. Intending to grow only what we needed for ourselves but being new to gardening and not confident in the greenness of our thumbs, we not only tilled far more ground than necessary and planted more than necessary but, by George, it all grew! Needless to say, we had vegetables of all kinds--some we had no idea what to do with--coming out our ears. So we gave some away, traded vegetables for farm products we didn't grow or raise, and, when we still found ourselves with excess, we set up a self-serve stand out in front of the house (complete with 'The Headless Harvester' here, who had butternut squash for a neck).Finding the stand to be a success and enjoying meeting new people when we happened to be nearby when they'd stop, we took a friend's advice and signed up for a booth at the local farmer's market.Some of the photos you'll see here are from our early days of selling produce, before we got better at making our displays look even tastier and more inviting. But, over time, we improved our tables and our sales, and here I'd like to share with you some tips for making at least some extra spending money, not to mention pay for next year's seeds, by selling what you grow.
