How to set up a Farmers Market table

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Hey folks, I have another double market day today! I will be doing exactly what you will see here. Will be home late, so please excuse the delay in responding to comments!! Have an awesome day peeps, thanks for all your support, it really does help:))

[@AllThingsClarice]

A little dirt never hurt Ryan, aunty clarice again lol 🤪 been typing as i am watching: make some funky signs saying, freshly picked this morning or “ Harvested, Washed and for Sale Fresh within Hours of Picking”...and some wee cards you can give out to customers stating your name/farm name/youtube channel etc....could help massively. Just a thought hun 🤔😉.....😘

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Aunty?? I must change the way I look at you, lol!! I actually got business cards made with similar stated on it!! Great minds think a like:))

[@Growwiththelaplantes]

Ryan, I honestly don't know how you do 2 markets in a day!!! I couldn't even imagine! Way to go buddy! Your booth looks absolutely fantastic! I'm in awe of what you are doing. I'm exhausted just watching. You are such an inspiration to so many. Thank you for being "real" and don't ever stop! This makes me smile bigtime! So proud to call you my friend 💛🇨🇦

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

I don't know either, lol!! Thank you for all your advice and support, it means the world to me:))

[@mariecurrie7657]

Well no one could accuse you of being work-shy! The stall looks amazing Ryan - Wow... you'll be teaching market gardeners a thing or two about presentation. Wonderful to meet a customer too! Love the sign & the orach is inspired 😎😎😎😎

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Lol, I'm lazy at heart, but more fearful of failure!!! Thank you Marie, hope I have a good handle on this by next year!!

[@PrairiePlantgirl]

Your display is looking very nice. Even decorated the awning posts 👍. A set of bed sheets makes a great table cloth. I was thinking you need some nice homey looking crates or baskets and then BOOM there they appeared 😀. I know nothing about market gardens. Admittedly I’ve rarely visited any. However, I do prefer to see things tied in bunches with an elastic or cloth strips rather than shoved in a bag. Things do look awesome, the produce looks amazing, and you almost have that first season of learning under your belt. Thanks for taking the extra time to bring us along.

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Thanks PPG. Lol, I am trying to pretty it up!! I agree about the bundles, and I need to find an alternative to the wanton plastic waste I have going on. I appreciate you watching and commenting pal:))

[@gretasgarden]

Brilliant display set up Ryan. Fun seeing you go through your very busy day!

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Thanks Greta!! Haha, glad you enjoyed it:))

[@EccentricNature]

Cool set up! It is nice to know that you pick them fresh that morning!

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Thank you! Best time of day for harvest, all the energy is in the leaves then:))

[@ltlbnsgarden]

I loved the set up! You work so hard, but that is what success is. Hard work= success! Way to go friend! So proud of all you have accomplished this far 😊

Having a market garden is such a dream of ours! Good tips for setting up the booth. Thanks for the video. New sub!

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

That's awesome to hear! Thank you, I had a very educational year:))

[@chelinfusco6403]

Awesome! Double Awesome! And at the end of the day, the feeling of a good day at markets doesn't keep an account of how super hard you worked all day. Excellent display. I love the Dill, Orach and, well, everything! I give you an A+. ;-) Thanks for the short view of your typical days at a double market. Adrenalin at work. Great feeling, isn't it? Love ya friend.

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Lol, you said it! It's a great feeling having a good market, yet few know what goes on to get to market. Thank you for your kind comments, they help when I get frustrated! Stay awesome my friend:))

Thanks Marcie, I was hoping the orach would look nice:))

I enjoyed that. Sylvan lake market looks fun. I bet you've already got next years garden all planned out.

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Sylvan is a blast!! Lol no where near my friend, this Winter will be some very detailed planning:))

[@vedaruiz7601]

I like your laid back approach and personality. I am looking to do 5-7 markets a week next summer.

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Why thank you! We did 7 a week last Summer and it is a grind. I wish you the best of luck:))

[@NicksAllotmentDiary]

Hi mate, brilliant to see your set up. The way you’ve set things up looks great to me. You’re certainly giving your customers as fresh as possible produce. Brilliant that Gail is able to replenish your stocks for your second market. Bet you’ve learnt loads from this season and you’ll have so many plans to put into place for next season. Have a great weekend buddy. Take care. Nick

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Thanks Nick, I am sure trying to make sure it's as fresh as it can be! Gail has helped out this year and I really appreciate it. You are right, so many plans for next year:)) Have a great week my friend:))

[@kathivy]

Beautiful setup! Zow so many markets in such a short time - badass 👍

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Thank you Katherine!! Badass, lol, hardly:))

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

Well done Ryan, looked absolutely attractive. ♻️Happy Gardening........🌻Terry King 🥕

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Thanks Terry:)

[@McDowallManor]

I agree - pick 'em early for ultimate freshness. Some nice tips here mate. It ended up looking great. Oh.. damn you run a busy market day!

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Yup, early is the best time!! Lol, I am exhausted by the end but I need to know which markets I should be focusing on for next year:))

[@trollforge]

Loved the customer cameo! Great vid buddy!

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Thanks Forgey!! Kinda cool that she was willing to be on film:))

[@PappysCorner]

I'm late chiming in here, just wanted to say what a great job you're doing. Good deal on the freshness I would hit you up for sure if I was close enough.!! Your attention to detail will help with return visits and people remember you.!!

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Thanks my friend!! I am having a tough time breaking into a few of these market as I didn't grow up here, and folks don't know my grand pappy, lol. Oh well, I shall give them no choice, and show up with my game face every week!! Thanks for the encouragement brother:))

[@giantdormouse]

Headlight harvesting is the best! So right about (very) early morning picking! Great to see your set up. You seem to be learning the tricks of the trade from every market you do! Enjoyed the video, Ryan. All the best, Mike.

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

I gotta do what I gotta do!! I'm trying Mike, I don't feel I have the luxury of time to learn this. Finances dictate I do well sooner rather than later!! Thanks for your kind words pal:))

[@MidwestGardener]

Man, that was a long day. I got tired just watching. I bet it's fun though. I really liked the way your table was set up!

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

It is exhausting but so darn satisfying! Thanks Jim, I'm trying!!

[@CajunHydroponics]

Great work bro! That was a long day for ya! Table set up was great cant wait to see the video of all the setups through out the season! Have a great weekend! Gro dat!

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Thanks man! Glad I am down to 3 markets. The week I did 6 almost killed me, lol.

[@micksbackyardaquaponics1408]

That was a great set up you had there at the market it look good there. 👍 👍

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Thank you Mick! Please have patience, I have 3 weeks left of markets then I will have more YT watching time:))

[@nnoble92]

Great video, I have a mini market garden and I’m doing my first farmers market this coming weekend and this was extremely helpful!

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Awesome man!!! Best of luck to you my friend. Look around at the tables that catch your eye and make changes often! Your end of the year will be far different from your start!! If you care to....keep me posted, I'd be curious to hear what you leaarn:)))

[@PlumBob]

Looking good Ryan, I enjoyed hanging out with you on a double market day. Nice job on your display set up. Great watching you progress as you learn, you are an inspiration my friend.

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Thanks Bob, trying very hard to make sure that next year is organized and ready to go:))

[@LondonWorms]

Well I'm catching up on all your vids Ryan. I got to this one and now I need to go to bed for 2 days 😂 I was exhausted just watching that lol. It's awesome to follow along as this evolves. And you did such an awesome job beautifying your stall 😁 Well done mate. Just brilliant work all round. Thanks for sharing 😊👍

[@kosmosjk]

Hi, I really enjoyed watching this. I love that you are constantly considering the aesthetics of your stall set up and produce, we eat with our eyes first so beautiful presentation makes a huge difference. Mock The Week used to make me cry laughing when it was running here :-)

Thank you, I feel the same way, if it looks good, they may want to buy! Hahahaha I love that show:))

You did a great display job Ryan, I would shop there

Thank you Babs, that makes me feel great:))

[@DaelithTN]

Your stall is looking great! Sounds like a busy, tiring day. Hope it was worth while. This winter you might want to check ebay for cheaper table covers if Gail wants the sheets back on the bed.😁

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Thanks buddy!! Yes, it was a bit long lol. Hahaha I may just do that!! Have a great week Michele:))

[@HealthyLifeFarm]

Your market stand looks great! I know too well about customers coming to shop when you’re not setup yet. I’ve got about three more book 📚 tours for the year and I get a little break. Take Care, Peaches

Thanks Peaches, was a crazy year of learning and I hope I made it look appealing! You got this, power thru and enjoy your break my friend:)))

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Thanks a bunch Clarice, I am trying!! Stall is coming along and the sales are very consistent. Next year I will have a better crop plan and hope to have increased results! Thank you kindly for your encouragement:)))

[@AllThingsClarice]

A little dirt never hurt you are very welcome hunny and it's deserved 👍😘

[@AllotmentGrowHow]

Awesome video my friend, loved the behind the scenes look at how you set the stall up. Everything looked great, loved the Thistle Hill sign. Hell, I'd buy from you any day of the week. Do you have a little sign saying "As seen on KZbin" on your stall ... You know, to build your channel and also to show your customers all the effort you put into growing the veg. Great video Ryan, really enjoyed this. Cheers Adam

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Thanks Adam! I will get a YT sign, that's a good idea! I got my new banner, and probably should have put it on there, lol!! Thanks again man, seems my channel is veering away from just gardening, so thanks for sticking with me:))

[@homesteadingwithsadie]

Your table looks so pretty 👍

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Aww thank you:)))

[@KellysKitchenGarden]

Love the setup Ryan! You seem to really be getting into the swing of it 😊🌱

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Had to get year one out of the way, learned tons:))

[@sarahlovesdonuts9601]

During the off season when you devise custom crates for your table, you might want to sell some other farmer’s/vendors. Those are the things people forget to find or just don’t have time to source.🌸🌸🌸

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

That's a good idea!

[@northlondonallotment6745]

The table looks great.

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Thank you kindly:))

[@bethanskitchengarden]

I really enjoyed seeing snippets of your day at the markets Ryan and I thought your stall and produce looked fabulous. What staples do you think you are missing out on? Take care Bethan 😊

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

I need to have potatoes from early to late in the season. Folks buy them every other week, which gives a vendor the opportunity to add on other fringe products. Also, my beets and carrots were planted late, which I can remedy for next year. So much planning will go into this fall/winter, which will make that time of year bearable:))

[@SouthpawDavey]

Liking the set up looks great might be tempted to put the salad bowls lower looks high up and hard to see. could be the angle though Or have a little label card on it saying what it is. I think they are such a great idea. hot jerky nice or maybe not so nice lol. Great to see the markets mate the set up looks great. Hope they were onions lol.

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Thanks Davey! I have had them lower and it looks good. Also have had signs, need something better for next year! Damn that jerky was hot lol:))

[@briansgardenandpolytunnel8172]

you MUST be selling well now, ryan. you should be pleased with the set-up. it looks professional. you obviously took your homework seriously by listening to other traders. definately worth a big thumbs up......….brian

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Well is a relative term Brian! I am doing well for my first year, but have a ways to go to come close to those who have been around for years. The other vendors have been very open and helpful to me. Couldn't have learned as much without them:))

Awwww that's nice to hear!! Hope you have a great market season!!!

[@VeggieBackGarden]

Really enjoyed that Ryan - a great insight to what you've been up to this year (and that you wear sandals with socks, and that you and the Mrs have kinky black satin sheets). The stall was looking great - and with a couple of more tables next year (for all the pickles, chutneys, home made wine, etc you'll making over the winter), it's gonna look even better next year. Why don't you have any signage advertising your KZbin channel - a sure fire way of getting customers hooked ? Anyway, keep it going. Cheers ........ Kevin

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Thanks Kev!! It was 7c that morning, so hell ya, I wear socks!! I need to work on signage all around buddy. Produce and price as well as a youtube sign! Have a great weekend pal:))

[@williamcolemansgardenandal9017]

Very nice my friend, those double market days must be pretty tiring but what the heck, you have eight months to recover right?

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

True story man, I will have plenty of time to relax:))

[@CustomGardenSolutions]

Ryan your table looks good man. Do you have any signage? I always thought that if I did a farmers market I would want to give customers the option to know what I was bringing to the market. So they could place their orders ahead of time and just pick them up. Curtis Stone calls it a fresh sheet and he texts the fresh sheet his customers /chefs. I guess you could just tell customers that they can text you if they want something in particular or if they want to know what you will have for them. Just a little backseat driving from a friend......

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Thanks Allan! I just got my banner, and built a sandwich board yesterday. Still need to work on product signage, but it is getting there! I have been trying to do little vids on FB to let folks know what's coming to market. I love his fresh sheet concept, and would sure do that with restaurant customers! Your opinion is always welcome buddy, I know it's coming from a good place:))

[@kath-phlox]

That was fantastic... Hey....you ditched that abominable hat. To me it felt like your comfort blanket... and, without it you have blossomed, wonderful. I'm wondering if you need to wrap the kale in plastic bags.. I know it will stop water evaporation, but would you try not doing that and sell without plastic... the whole world is trying to cut it down. It may not work keeping it fresh, but I think it's worth trying a few to see how they hold up. I think you're wonderful, lets hope the profits are too :D

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Thank you Kath! The kale is in plastic bags and has been selling quite well. I will be sourcing non plastic for next year, as this year was a bit by the seat of my pants!! Thanks again for your kind words, profits will be there when all my adjustments have been made!! I find your obsession with my farming hat hilarious, lol!! I have not worn it for 4-5 vids, yet you keep banging on about it. I thought that taking it off would satisfy you, but it seems to have had the opposite effect. You bring it up more now than when I was wearing it, hahaha. Guess I'll have to put it on more often to hear less about it!!!! On a related note...I met a gentleman 2 weeks ago at market and asked him if he was wearing a panama hat. He was and it was hand made in Cuba. Have a super week my headwear aficionado:))

[@solarbeau8594]

Hello, nice little video,👍 I notice that you didn't show prices, why ?

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

I have had some signage issues. my sandwich board blew over and broke into many pieces, and the little signs i have I got tired of chasing them around. I will sort out my signage before the end of this year!!

[@sharonjennings1282]

I was wondering if you wash your lettuce and Swiss chard after you pick it in the morning? Or are people just fine with it being unwashed since it is so fresh?

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

We rinse it and then let it dry or spin it, then in the container to be bagged at market!

[@northlondonallotment6745]

Could you get a distinctive sign or logo made up so people can zoom in on you?

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

My banner came in this Thursday and I had it at both markets on Friday!! I'll show it in a vid soon:))

[@BobMelsimpleliving.]

When I was young I had some friends that did some headlight harvesting. I wonder if they're still in prison. 😁 Looks like you're doing well at the markets. I'm sure it is exhausting. Best wishes Bob. 🌴

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Lol, those poor fellas!! Thanks Bob, I am sure trying to get know at market. Guess I will have to see how next year goes to determine if I did a good job this year!
