If you didn't give so much away then maybe you could afford the measly $35 for a table...

Thank you for this! I'm actually in the baby steps of getting ready to sell at the farmers market and a produce stand. I live in a fairly small town and we only have one farmers market close by (unless I want to travel, which may be down the road) and it's only open 3 days a week in the summer and once a week during the winter. So I plan on utilizing a produce stand to do something on the other days. Your videos have been very helpful in terms of plant health! Thank you very much!

In this day and age don't you have to have a vendors license to be able to sell from a roadside stand?

you cut off the beet greens???

Produce stand is very common in countries other than the U.S. I have been thinking about doing it but it is "Legal" since they are trying to make everything illegal here sadly.

Once my garden gets going this year, I'll be selling surplus at a home produce stand! I'm growing 20 different varieties of tomatoes (plus a ton of other stuff), so I'll definitely have extra! I figure I should price it around the same as the grocery store in town since it's about 1 minute away from us, if our prices are too high, they'll just drive the extra minute to the store. But maybe my quality and variety will let me have slightly higher pricing. I think i'll see how the first couple weeks go, and if i'm selling out, I'll raise them slightly! I hope it works out!

Yes, we have a massive farmers market, very popular. Only issue with me is being a single Dad I can't get my daughter out of bed that early. I started selling in facebook, swap buy and sell. Unfortunately I put the Marty's Garden logo on an image. I was then reported to Facebook and banned from all groups.
The whole thing was very odd. So, I am looking at other ways now.
I give away produce to friends at church, mostly eggs.
My health is getting better now, so i am starting to sell to a couple of restaurants again, which is really cool.
Mostly I am working on building up my restaurant run again,,but just slowly!
Happy gardening/Farming

I set a table up in the front yard under a big oak with a honest box. Sign reads take it if you need it. Donate to the box if you can. I live in the country seems to work out just fine.

Nice review. Thx

Thank you for the awesome content. Love to see people exploring how to improve themselves .

They monitor the prices so there is fairness to everyone. Thats why I'll ever set up at stupid farmers market. People are allowed to price anything as low or high as they want. The public can buy or not buy. Get a good deal or not a good deal. End of story...

Wondering if it would be worth while to sell hydroponic microgreens and leafy greens at our local farmer's market. I don't really have a good location at the house for drive by traffic. Or should I just try to produce Youtube videos? Thanks for the video.

For all the one who are afraid of doing illegal : wait till you are going to need a permit to be alive and you wont have the money to pay the taxes for wiping your nose.....

Price fixing is completely and 100% illegal. Those farmers markets are in the wrong and are committing a crime.

We sell produce through a co-op. We post what we have available and people order online, Once a week, we make a delivery to a central place and collect the check. It works very nicely for everyone.
