I have been doing my Farmers Market for a couple of months now. Here are a few pictures. It is a small FM in a rual area just outside of where I live. I just made a banner on vista print and will be ordering one from Merill soon.

Let me know what you think

THANKS!

Looks nice.
 
Looks good. Have you had any luck at the Farmers Market? I live in a small rural town, as well, and have thought about it, but it seems that anyone who is not selling fruits, vegetables, or flowers are selling homemade items.
 
Nice display. Have you gotten much business from doing this? Bookings? orders? Recruits?
 
Cute! I noticed you are using the measuring cup as a pen holder. That's a wonderful idea! I also love how you are using a pineapple to hold up the wedger. Another eye catcher. ;)

Thanks Shelia! I use the measuring cup as my pen holder at all my shows - I've actually sold one or two from people seeing it. I generally use the prep bowls to measure anything at my shows.
 
Did you have to get permission to set up at the farmer's market or you just set up in the parking lot? I think it's a great idea and you get some ideas!
 
I wish I could set up in our Farmer's Market =/ I asked but they said I
couldn't because its not 'made' within 50 miles.
 
I have run into that too. As the products are "imported" they will not allow it. I have a couple more to check out so... Cory - you never did tell us if it is working for you!!!
 
anyone in va had luck with farmers markets I have not, like someone else posted its not "made"
 
I wanted to do it at our farmers market but it has to be locally grown or made.
