This was a wonderful education/webinar. Thank you so much for expanding on the 1st webinar. I would love to see some of your booth setups over the years and how you changed things up to keep your booth fresh and exciting for your customers. I think your changes and pictures would be so very helpful. Thank you Bailey, Thomas and Felicia

Thanks so much for watching, Rebecca! Unfortunately, we don't have much in the way of photos of the display changing over the years. I think it's wise to visit your local farmers market, take note of the booths that look great and stand out, and consider what is working. ~Felicia

I’m blown away by your candor and generosity. I’m cleaning but I’m home alone and like to listen to things. This came up and I thought “oh I’m not there yet, not for me,” and then I thought I bet I will learn something. So glad I did listen. I’m only in baby stage trying to figure out what will grow here etc. I think people can miss it’s a social thing. A psychological thing. Being nice to people. Caring. Wanting to sincerely make their day a little brighter. I’m a people person. I get it. Thanks again

I’ve had people buy off my dads veg and plant stall at home and resell for much more because dad had them under priced

Do farmer's markets allow multiple farms at one booth? I just had a thought during this video that farmers could do what moms do for carpool and switch off every other week and sell for both farms at the same booth 🤔

Hi Cyndie! It sounds possible, but would depend on the individual market and their rules! I think it's a great idea worth exploring. Thank you so much for tuning in and sharing your idea! ~Felicia
