Perhaps one of my top favorite videos yet! As a teen, I went with my Uncle to Detroit Eastern Farmer's Market with a load of whole hogs. We'd lay 'em out on the table and people would point to the cuts on the hog they wanted, and we would slice, chop, and cut them up to order while they watched and waited. Also went with my Grandfather to sell a pickup load of sweet corn and other produce at Flint Farmer's Market.

Wow, $4.50 a dozen is a bargain. Here in SoCal we pay $7.00 for a dozen of Organic pasture raised eggs from Vital Farms and every time we go back for more they seem to have gone up again. Last year they were about what you currently sell at. Honestly, I can’t go back to regular eggs anymore, I rather pay it. There is just no comparison in the quality of the egg.

@Allan Ritchie The difference is between someone selling eggs because they have too many for personal use, and someone making a business out of it. When you figure in the costs and a modest profit, $4.50 is not unreasonable.

All kidding aside, the market is a nice comfortable place and it looks like it draws good traffic. That said, it's nice to have a place like that to go to and have reasonable assurance the products you produce will find buyers. After all, if you don't attract buyers for you product you don't get the money to stay in the farming business. I'm guessing it's a hard way to make a good income and the best part it lets you do the work, you enjoy doing.
