Ok, so here I go – new to the market farming deal I have
just a couple questions (so far)… I’ve been growing garlic the past couple years and have
now started in with dry climate herbs that seem to be going pretty well. I have
never sold to markets, always giving to friends and their friends out my back
door. After sitting on this list
for a while, I’m getting the bug to sell to our small town by means of,
possibly, our small Saturday farmers market. But I’m not sure f.m.’s are for me. I love to plant, grow, experiment and cut out the chems,
not to mention wandering in my field, but I am just not sure that sitting at a
booth on a Saturday is for me.
Once in a while would probably be fun. I do have a full time job working for myself, but growing and
experimenting with crops proves as one of my true enjoyments. I know I should talk to my local f.market but wanted to
get some impressions from my friends on this list first. What is the best method to start marketing at the local
f.m.? Do they typically allow a
one-time booth/table just so I can test the waters? I’d guess there is a f.m. etiquette that I should try to
adhere by – especially being the new kid on the block. I don’t particularly want to make a
killing on my sales, and don’t want to undercut anyone either – but I would
like to come home with an empty truck – thinking I might actually break even
this year. Any input someone might want to offer, would be greatly appreciated. Mike JMT systems consulting Software Development / Network Administration www.jmtsystems.com -- info AT jmtsystems.com Ofc: 509 968-9015 /
