The farmer's market in town will be closing at the end of the month. I called a guy today to see if I could use his vacant lot to sell from for the rest of the year. He said OK!!! Whoo-hoo!
It's a great location....right down the street from Wal-mart and Kroger. I get a lot of people who say they want to buy my stuff, but they forget until they are looking at the meat at Wally world. This way I'll be right there to remind them.
It's like having a shop, but with zero overhead!
I can only do this a couple days a week, because I don't have enough time to sit there every day. I will do Saturdays, just about all day (8-5 or so) for sure, but I'm not sure about the other day or hours of the week.
Should I go for like 3-7 when people are getting off of work? Or go for earlier in the day when more stay at home people are shopping and doing errands? Any suggestions? One market I am not hitting well is the families. I get lots of old folks, but very few families (who eat a lot!). I'd like to get them....
I gotta get a banner so people can see me...though a neon sign would be nice hehehe.
