I was selling at weekend markets in 1980,,, If you have a great product you are 75% the way, then you have to offer samples and chat, job done
Good morning! This was helpful thank you. I'm really looking into and researching saling my homemade breads at the farmers market. I totally agree presentation is everything that's why I'm looking for the right packaging and labels for my future customers.
Phenomenal explanation. I’m a vet hoping I can make this pop in my life. This gives me exactly what I need to be proficient. 🙏🏾
Thanks for the tips, really enjoyed this, going to come in handy :)
Love it! The farmers I speak to have difficulty with the marketing aspect of the farm, since producing their product is their passion and expertise. The appearance of the booth is SO important, especially since someone who is further from farm life has that big picture perfect grocery selection in the back of their mind. It takes only a few seconds to see if this is a booth you want to stop and take a closer look at! Thanks for the vid!
Wow this was extremely informative and actually nuanced.
Thank you John for this great and useful advice which I need.
I'm not even a farmer (I just went to my local farmer's market this morning), but I love this. Great, no-nonsense advice. Thanks :-)
Excellent video John !
Thanks so much for the very valuable tips.
Awesome! I'm about to start my first tour in a market. I'm kind of petrified actually. I've gone broke trying to grow natural food, lived in a tent and everything for this. Loved this. Could use more advice too
I love studying about a lot of stuff I'm weighting about farmers now and market
Thank you,this was a great video for me to watch.Very cool.
Awesome advice. Thank you
Great advice! A lot of it applies to selling crafts, too.
Thanks! This really helped!
Thank you! That was an amazing video with real ideas to implement on our daily routine with farmers market! Will be doing it all 🙏🏻

Thank you for this helpful information.
Thank you for posting
Great tips for vendors at farmers markets!
Great video! Thank you for sharing your expert advise! I'll be using your tips as I open my own booth at our local market this spring!

Excellent vedio! Thank you for your great suggestions
I came here after coming up with a plan to bake bread and sell it at 13!
hea brother thanks for the words of wisdom I pasture poultry in the Cayman islands and your advice will help
YOU CAN DO IT!! I'm 13 and have my own poultry business.
Clean, visually appealing, and easy flow system
Absolutely ...⚡🙏🙏🌈
You have a lot of good advice here. The signage is also a good investment. It really is a deterent when nothing is marked even if it's layed out in order.
Awesome advice 🤙🏾
Great talk - starting a JS marathon today... :) Very interested in getting heavily involved in a few things you're heavily involved in.
111,000 views. I just had to say it. So aesthetically pleasing.

Very good information.
Thank you for sharing this.
You're welcome
It's always get to great information like this. I currently sell to the restaurants and they buy my microgreens because they bring a lot of color and taste to the table.
Your 100% right presentation plays a huge role,,,
My only advice I could add to it is,,,stand out with a point of difference compared to your competitors.
Am definitely going to use the recipe ideas,,,when I hit the local markets.
Happy Gardening/Farming

ps: Thanks so much for the advice.

5:10 ...Create an operations manual.... dam! that's some simple but brilliant info there- wish I could give 2 thumbs up!
what a wonderful video!
Thanks!
Thanks for your great advise. Likewise I am planning to start a "Quail" farm with a final goal of selling Marinated Quail Eggs in Escabeche. Is an idea and to see your presentation makes me think that I am in the right track.

We decided to ditch the table covers. Wind and weather in general makes them a pain. We just use new nice clean tables.
I built mine from pallet it's vintage
amazing
Thanks friend. We all know WHAT we like, but don't know WHY we like it. Your video was an excellent mirror exercise, useful in many other areas of life. My first year "marketing" was a super success and quite gratifying. I started by advertising on Yard Sale websites to "Be On The Lookout....what was coming in a month!" I plan on adding very simple (and simply packaged) home made soap and hand sewn market bags to my heirloom, non gmo, organic tomatoes, okra, peppers, etc. Last year was additionally successful in that I was able to expose myself as a seasoned gardener and trusted source for info on how to care for the plants I was selling. The Amish sell in our community and are a super resource. Utilize what's around you,and don't be a snob! You can always learn more!

Love the new look took me a while to realize it was you but recognized the voice. Farming is the future don't give up. Thomas Jefferson advocated, to get into the least foreign entanglements possible. Industrialization had its place. But subservient to a farm. And every man should own land. So that his labor remained on his land 1799.
New look I mean the power point slide.
You won me over at "food porn"! LOL!
Could you do a video of your stand at the farmers market?

i go to my local farmers market here in mid Michigan and most vendors are pathetic. why do I see alot of fruits and veggies with the "number code" stickers on them like they got them at a store and are re selling them. I don't get it. maybe I'm wrong, but when I go to a farmers market, I expect every seller selling their food was grown by them and preferably organic. I've asked the simple question numerous times, "are these veggies sprayed with anything?" and the answer is usually, " I don't know for sure." wtf. next. if any vendor cannot answer any questions you might have and don't feel offended by them, move on till you find one you can trust.
@Joe Jameson they are called lazy asses around my place in alabama and get kicked out lol
This is an EXCELLENT comment. CBC (Canada) did a great piece that’s here on TH-cam about so-called farmers selling at farmers’ markets. They were caught reselling grocery or commercial produce and passing it off as their own. 👎🏼
Hi there. Seen a couple of your videos. Nice presentation. Great choice of words. Very informative. Just a question what was your business/ job before you got into growing? You definitely are from a corporate background. I can just recall some of my meetings & office presentations when you talk. I think that's really great.
I used to work in media. Theater and television as an electrician and rigger mostly.
How I can sell my product in the farmers market
Hi John, great videos. I'm trying to learn about the logistics of bringing frozen chickens to the markets and sitting there for 5-6 hours. Do you just bring large coolers? If your goal is 20 chickens, that means bringing 25, right? Just hoping to get close parking? Have you run into any regulation in your area in regards to bringing in the frozen chickens or precessing the chickens at all - as long as its done by the processing plant, no issues? Also, would you be willing to do a video specifically on your operations manual and show how it actually looks in print, many of your videos are great on the white board, but you mention you put it to print, what does that look like? I can rattle off how we do things, but to put it to paper is challenging. Thanks!
Justin Brown I have also wondered if coolers were brought in for frozen birds.
How about some photos of your farmers market stand? Brandino brings up a good point but obviously the idea is to sell and be busy. Not talk to someone for 30 minutes while everyone waits. Hopefully you're in a market that is busy enough to allow you lots of sales.
I haven't read down to far however I haven't found anything about food handling licenses? do you have to get any of that or does it depend on where you are selling?
+Toni Franklin Usually depends on where you're selling and what you are trying to sell. If you want to cook and hand out samples you might need a license. If you're just selling vegetables raw then you might not. Depends on your area and your product. The market manager should know the rules for your market.
I think you didn't cover the financing part of the business. Did you open a business account when you started selling at the farmer's market? Do you accept credit or debit cards, or use Venmo, Paypal when selling your products? How do you handle the taxes? Thanks for sharing.
I went to a farmers market and this one man selling hog meat was making free BBQ, and people were always surrounding his booth. He’d give a little brochure of his BBQ recipe for every purchase. Obviously more costs cutting into his profits but I’m sure he has a ton of repeat orders.
I make home made soaps can I sell them here ?
Is your thumbnail photo from Lancaster Central Market? ☺️
Hehehe ..funny ...
Is this for a market or a supermarket?
If your just selling eggs, how do you make your stand appealing? Any suggestions would really be appreciated.
beth mitchell Great question. It's on the "video creation list" now so I can give you visuals with it as well. Until then, pictures in picture frames. Pictures of your chickens, the farm, info on eggs.
haha great adivce i'm about to sell art at one.
how much money can i make my first time
I have found that my local markets are extremely expensive to become a vendor...its like being shaken down before I even sell a single item? All the advertisements, signage, banners, tents, fees, and time becomes impossible to recoup for a small producer. Frankly, most farmers markets are for high volume sellers.
+BeeFriendlyApiary They can very a lot depending on your area and the market. I hear you though. Some markets can be a real challenge. That needs to be built into your business plan. My market isn't bad at all and has been really supportive of farmers joining. Marketing and selling your goods is a skill that's developed over time like a lot of other farm skills.
How much do farmer markets make a year
Dylan Campbell My terrible, but true statement is that it varies by the market. Some do really well and others are all together not worth it.
Weighting I mean writing
It is sad that you are correct my friend. Don't fight the man, embrace him. I'd wear ripped up jean shorts, boots and a flannel T shirt every day if I could. I make allot more money not.
Growing a garden is actually expensive and it costs less to buy from a store/market. And thank you for speaking out against the stigma regading farmers etc....
a garden only costs you money to start up. once its there all u really need is seeds if you are smart about it.
Amanda Mackey That is a lie... Seeds are cheap, dirt is free, grass clippings are free, tree leaves are free, shit is free if you have animals, worms are cheap, water is free it falls from the sky literally. I will have 20 heads of cabbage, 30 ears of corn, 3 70lb containers of spuds, 1 container of ginger, 20 large onions, 20 large garlic heads, 50 or so turnips which i can eat the greens of also. 20 or so artichokes, 20 eggplants, a couple hundred tomatoes, fresh lettuce i grow all year round in door, 10 gold beats, 10 deep purple beats & 10 chioggia beats, countless pole beans, i grow bean sprouts, wheat grass and a bunch of other herbs inside all year round, 10 bell pepper plants and 10 hot pepper plants... I grow morel mushrooms & shiitake mushrooms, parnips, assorted colorful carrots, bak choy etc etc and i literally grow thousands of pounds a year in veggies for basically just the price of the seeds alone and never even go to the grocery store ever.
Amanda Mackey I can basically grow a entire crop for the price you pay for one veggie at the grocery store...
Sorry Amanda not buying it.
The reason ..chiefo..
Is cause in the 20 th century poeple barely ate. There was no sugar, no, salt,. There was um??...No sodas all over the place, on and on.
1975- 1980. I Cleary remember ,eating a plate of food no bigger than a fist. Then, that went on to like, 1980 s when poeple began to eat more. But there was no food
All over the place solid, to like 95. Up to then a soda machine was it, at a gas station store or anywhere. There was tons less sugar and salt everywhere.
There was just less food. Most poeple were skinny.they didn't want food all the time. And it was not addicting. so that's where you get your poor comment.
But from 95 till today you can't drive 5 blocks without food. Also there was only 180 million poeple here in 88.
Today 350 million. All over weight. plus ethonal, which swallows corn left and right. There was no ethonal in the 80 s. Plus most crops are soy. For all this sodas. On and on. You add that up, a guy with 15 acres does great. Because poeple, can't stop f eating....
Is really the bottom line. You would of starved in 1985. You would not have even broke even
But today the avg caloritic consumption far and away passes 2000.
Plus??... What happens?? When China opens up. How about cuba??..7 million more mouths.
6 billion ppl in the world. So of course the farmer even if half his place fails. He's making 100 k.
haha... yeah... the psychosis of people.. lol
I clicked for the girl in display picture.
clickbait (-,!,-) Well play it sir, well play it
+El Gato Borracho How's that?
+John Suscovich I think he's saying that the image of the video was a good looking woman smiling at the camera. You know, have a good looking person "at the table," just like you suggested. I "clicked with my eyes" just like you said.
Good video. Are you looking for online local food market with highest quality and quantity? If yes, then you are on the right track where you get best foodstuffs at (Harvest Order).
You drain every bit of fun out of the system - it's a farmers market - it's supposed to be laid back and easy going, a good product and a friendly person will sell itself. People become very loyal. Also, having several people gathered around is a selling point, it points people to the fact that it must be good stuff. You do NOT want them in and out.
You lost me with the idiotic term food porn. If you're going to present yourself as a subject matter expert then please try to at least develop a respectable and appropriate vocabulary. You could also say the food is aesthetically pleasing, for example. Thank you.
Dan N rawr
He didn't make up the term. It's a known thing.
Dan N man stfu
Dan you father called and said he's sorry that he failed you.
STFU you bum
