Hi, I generally read and learn from this list and now I'm looking to learn something specific. I am a small grower and part of a newer farmers' market in Oxford, Ohio. This will be our second season. As we look to expand, and as a member of the council, I am looking at the customer/vendor ratio for successful markets. If you have, and are willing to share, the following information -- 1) average number of vendors; 2) average number of customers-- I would greatly appreciate it. I know the numbers change throughout the season and will be taking that into consideration. Please feel free to respond off list if desired. Thanks for all the great information I glean from here.
