My first question is "what do they do with the money?".
If it is going for good advertizing, if they are doing events which add more costomers , if they are saving to build a facility for all weather sales.......stuff like that makes a big difference.
2 10 = 10 x 20, how does that work? How does one get their truck into that and still have product and sales area?
Our local market is real small but I was still not happy in a group so I moved up the street to a vacant lot and doubled my sales in a huge space, had no rules to fret over, set my own days and hours, and gave the property owner and her family some produce any time they came around.

I was just curious how much your market charges to set up. Our market just
doubled our entry fees and it seems a bit high to me. We have a market with
approximately 70 vendors selling at various times throughout the market
season. It's a great market but so are many others that don't charge as much. We
now have to pay $400 for two 10 x 10 tent spaces and it must be paid before
January 1 or you cannot sell next season. The daily set up fee, for the two
spaces, is $40.
I just think this sounds like a high price for the smaller farmer. Do any
of you pay an amount like this to sell at your farmers market?
