Where are videos 3,4, and 5? Planning to open a farmers market in my small city in March and am loving these videos. I feel like I have support!
I’ve been searching for the other 3 as well!
I hope you don’t stop doing episodes like this; you put out great content, anyone not willing to glean from your knowledge is only stunting their knowledge growth.
Would love to see this series continued. Thanks so much for making these first 2.
My husband and I worked at a farmers market selling empanadas I made from scratch. It was like a family, you're right. Lots of vendors wanted to trade, so we always went back home with organic veggies, eggs, honey, chocolate...I miss that, but not the setting up part. One day it was very windy and our tent flew. Fortunately, it didn't injure anyone but me, but it does happen so insurance is very important.
I'm on the board of directors for our farmers market in my city and I can tell you this is no small feat. We've been around for 43 years and have 200 vendors, we run from the beginning of June until the end of September. It is a huge venture and not undertaken easily, it is however doable. My suggestion is talk to people who run a long term, successful market to avoid some of the pitfalls.
It’s no small feat for a grower to do what he/she does… especially since most board of directors and managers are so clueless about what real work is. Been there, done that.
So Luke fyi my yt did not notify me of this one nor the one previous. Looks like it happened to a lot of your viewers with these. Last one I got notified of was the garlic. Keep the videos coming though! You can beat the algorithm!
You always put out such great info. Would you consider teaching how someone could become a vendor at a market and sell their homemade goods. As in the basics, and even legalities involved with food products? I make and bottle hot sauce that people really like and are buying directly from me. I’m also getting into homemade soaps, the pretty, moisturizing and scented kind. I would love to learn how to locally sell my products.
I’d love to see that too!
My state of GA requires a cottage kitchen for any shelf stable products. As well as listing all ingredients in your hot sauce on the label. Look into your state’s requirements for your hot sauce. That sounds delicious too!
Luke, you are truly enjoying this - it shows. What an amazing adventure.
I hope you put out more videos on this topic
As an artist who sells at events, THANK YOU for mentioning the MLM! I know a lot of people run them, but it's so frustrating to compete with non-handmade or non-artist-created vendors. I remember I did a craft show once, and I was excited to see the artistry in the area. Only me and one other person were actual artists. Every table was an MLM, from jewelry to vitamin drinks. I was so disheartened and no one made any money at that show.
Agree!
I was so looking forward to all of the parts of this series, as it appears to be well thought out and broken down into easily understood sections. Lately I've been trying to learn about raising quail, and haven't been visiting my usual gardening channels. I just don't have time to view every video from every channel I'm subscribed, within a day or two of them being released. Sorry to see this series left unfinished.
No kidding! I have driven by that market all summer and haven't had a chance to stop by! I did not realize that Summer Thyme market was started by you! I will have to make a point of stopping by next summer. Looking forward to the new building, it's only a few minutes drive from me! Best of luck Luke!
I cant find part 3 😭. Would be nice to have all these into one playlist for anyone interested in this!
LOVE IT! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK MY FRIEND! YOUR SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE ARE VERY IMPRESSIVE! BLESSINGS TO YOU AND YOURS!
Such useful information that I haven’t seen any other videos cover. My city already has one of the largest markets in Wisconsin but I’m filing this video away for later if I ever move.
This is really great info for starting any small business! Glad I found it!
Very informative! Thanks Luke!
Have you posted the Part 3 yet? Thank you for all the info in Parts 1 & 2!!
These are very informative, thank you for doing this.
This is helpful Luke. I thank you in the form of a like
👍
Great farmers market series !
Pls link part 1 for those of us who have not seen it. Thanks
Another informative video! How far in advance did you start the process prior to opening day? About how long does the paperwork/permitting take?
Thanks for the very informative video!!
I am really enjoying this series so far!
Also, I love that your farmers market is open for so many hours. My local market is usually done by 2 in the afternoon and it always seems to conflict with my work schedule.
I appreciate your videos thank u
💗 luv your videos
Thanks
I live in a tiny town, I’m about to start a farmers market with a small team
Hello from Tucson.
can we get a copy of the rule book?
I hope you choose to continue the series. This is a specialized topic so it seems understandable that viewership would be less. Maybe start a second channel for this info?!
Grand Rapids MI coming this spring if you keep it going.
Do you have a link to videos 3, 4, and 5 ?
🙏👍
Hi Luke!
Would the fire marshal be needed if the location is outside of city limits?
💟💞
Where are parts 3-5? It doesn't look like you completed the series.
The cost of going CORPORATION IS Little to the cost of being sued in a court of law for physical mental time off of work or time off of living for the rest of their LIFES they do that I went for CORPORATION on the way of things then they can't come for your home or car or living !!!
LLC has similar protections
So much goes into farmers markets that I never knew. Can seem very intimidating.
Luke ordered some boots over the phone and she was in your state so I said to her HAVE YOU HEARD OF LUKE MIgardener??? Luke sells seeds and she was interested so she is going to look you on up I told her you also have a PIZZA place and it is great pizza there so go and have some so You got a PLUG there LUKE !!!
Sounds like too much work and red tape.
You do not "file" to be a sole proprietorship. You are automatically a sole proprietor by conducting business. A sole proprietor is a person doing business with no liability protection in place. Operating any business without liability protection is pure folly.
In MI you have to file. It's different in all states.
@@JustCallMeInsane Sorry, but there is no state in all fifty that has anything in place to form a sole proprietorship. If you buy a book dealing with legal business structures you will learn this.
States may have a way to "register" a sole proprietorship for a variety of reasons, but that does not form one. Simply doing business automatically forms one. Of course, I would never recommend that anyone operate as a sole proprietorship, as it is the second worst form of business structure in existence.
@@busker153 I literally have a form for MI. You register your business and business type. You cant just run a business without registering it. Most states wont like that. It may not be "creating" a sole prop, but you are filing your business as one to get your license, etc.
@@JustCallMeInsane Filing a form saying what business type you already are, and forming that business type, are two different things.
Merely conducting business of any kind automatically forms a sole proprietorship.
Getting a business license is another thing altogether. But that has nothing to do with business entity formation, either. Generally, it has more to do with the municipality raising money through unnecessary fees! LOL
