Hi Brooke,

 

That is my sister’s name as well.  I think www.newfarm.org has a price list gathered from farmer’s markets across the country.  I always found it helpful to ask the other farmer/vendors and then do not undersell.  The quality will speak for itself and nobody has everything.  I also check the pricing at grocery stores and then add 20% to 25%.

Hi-my name is Brooke--from Kansas. I am a fairly novice gardener who just last year did my first Farmer's Market. I mainly took herbs and herbal products; soaps, eye masks, bath things, the usual herbal creations. This year I plan to add in a few vegetables and edible flowers along with the herbs...my question is how to go about getting pricing for my wares so that I might add clients this year. I have tried to get help through our county extension office, the dept of agriculture and several other places I can't recall off the top of my head, and so far haven't been able to find the elusive price list. Is there a secret that I don't know about? Also if anyone has any good book recommendations on how to get started in this business, I'd love to hear what they are!

Thanks for letting me lurk and learn!

Brooke
