My first ever farmers' market was a rip-roarin' success! I was pushing it to get there on time and was frantically setting up my table at the 4:00 start time. By the time my pricing board was filled out, I had a line!
I was sold out of milk in the first 3 customers and out of cheese and eggs within the first hour! I believe I could have sold 5x as much if I'd had the product.
A big thank you to my parents and my kids for helping out. Couldn't have done it without you. I even brought little Cash and Cara along. They were a hit with everyone.
Come see me Saturday at 2:00. And come early.
Bucket List- Check!
Congratulations!!!!!! All your hard work is paying off, how exciting!!!!! You look so pretty too :)
ReplyDeleteAww thanks. I clean up occasionally!
DeleteCongrats!
ReplyDeleteNice that you can sell milk and cheese at the farmers market there!
All dairy is sold "For Pet Consumption". I label everything with the required disclaimer:

products have not been pasteurized and may
contain harmful bacteria.
Raw spinach is more dangerous, but what can you do?
We have a farmers market here in summer time. The county owns the buildings, it's pretty nice. We like produce and products from the farmers market a lot better than the waxed and dyed stuff at the grocery store.
ReplyDeleteI agree! I can't wait for the produce to start coming in. It was such a rough winter and late spring, it's going to be a while.
DeleteCongratulations, I'm so proud of you!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Now to have enough for Saturday. I've been stuffing the girls full of alfalfa!
DeleteSo proud of you hun! Very exciting!
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun! I can't believe you can sell milk and cheese there like that. I would have the feds on me so fast if I tried that. I have started milking but the lambs and now one of Sandy's little kids is getting it all. Hopefully soon.
ReplyDeleteI am licensed by the state to sell milk for pet consumption. Everything was well marked and since I am not crossing state lines, it is only a state matter. There are other vendors in the big market in town who have been selling pet dairy for a couple years now.
