Good morning everyone! During the winter months (off-sales time for most –
unless they have high tunnels!), our Farmers’ Market Board meets several
times to plan the coming season. In the three seasons our producer-only
market has been in existence, we have enjoyed great growth – beyond our dreams.
However, our mid-week (we are open Saturday and Tuesday mornings) sales just
are not as good as we’d like. Because of the lack of crowd, many of
our farmers who come a long distance decide it’s not worth the drive.
We know a lot of it has to do with work schedules, and even tried a late afternoon
market – and that was even worse! If anyone has a “tried and
true” strategy for increasing customer traffic at a mid-week market, we’d
love to hear it! Keep in mind we don’t have a market manager –
the farmers basically run the market as volunteers and time in the summer is at
a premium! Secondly, we are always looking for ways to recruit
new vendors and would welcome ideas about recruitment. Finally, here’s our market website – still under
construction, but getting there! http://www.skyfarmersmarket.com Thanks!! Alison Wiediger, Au
