Sell yourself and your brand. you are new leave an impression on customers.

Have fun, relax and enjoy talking to people. Our master gardener program had our first strawberry festival/sale a few years ago. People crave info on how to grow them.

Last year there was quite a turnout and anyone who brought produce sold out the first hour. Not many veggie growers with high tunnels yet.

I am taking banana chips in small portion bags, Plants, fresh parsley, spring mix, baby carrots, and radishes.

I had some onions bolting but not enough to bother with using the tops.

We have 2 strawberry days and then the official market opening is June 18th. I have found a place to sell between now and then so I will be good.....soon as I get this first one under my belt.

Had a great time. Sold out of produce in 30 minutes. I took all I had which wasn't a lot but so happy and I know more what to expect now.

I'm glad you did so well. I went to a flea market once years ago at the local fire station. I sold all my plants and related items before 12:00 except for one big saucer. I wish I could do that more often.

I was kind of surprised because I thought most people would just come for the strawberries

Selling out is great. But the later customers didn't get to see or meet you. Gear up for this event next year. I would rather sell out in the last 2 minutes of the market than real early. It is always tough to figure out how much you need and when you need it.

I know it's hard to gauge how many to buy the first year. We took pre-orders the second year about a month before we ordered our strawberries. They paid us when they picked them up. Plus we ordered hundreds more. And we still ran out an hour or two before closing time. We also sold plants at the same time. When people are in a buying frenzy they will buy almost anything.

I did not have any strawberries and was not about to stand in the line after I got done. I stayed for awhile after I sold all my produce because I still had banana chips to sell. Really hooked now.
