Maybe some attention getters outside like smallish triangular flags dotted around in bright colors. People are used to seeing y'all under the tent, which is a big attraction. They might just think the blue door is a gate?

I feel that if you put up more attention seeking signs/flags with GRAND OPENING it would draw more attention. Especially a bit before the stand where people can have a chance to pull in before they are already past. Also, putting more items you have for sale out front for now just to get people to stop and find out the deal. Then in a week or so you won't need to. People are creature of habits. If you get them to stop once they are more likely to do it again. I am routing for you guys! Really hope the store works.

Looking great! I'll make some suggestions marketing-wise that might help boost sales quicker : - You need a "Farm Shop" sign on the blank facade next to the door. You could add a open/closed hanging sign below - you're Red Roof Farm... The door and fascia board of the shop really should be the same red as your roof to keep your branding strong - cash-wise, you could install a strong lockable mailbox inside. - if at all possible, do set up your tent stand next to the shop a couple days a week for the next month or so (maybe at rush hour?) so people are more likely to stop. You can then "sell" them the convenience of the farm shop for future use! - a cctv camera (real or faux) installed inside, covering the cash box will deter theft - put in a sign(s) inside the shop emphasising the freshness, something like "fresh picked 300m away" "restocked x times a day" etc Maybe an aerial photograph with a "picked here!" over your crop area and "you are here!" over the farm shop. I say this because with the location, the house, the fence and surroundings your property doesn't look like a farm from the road.

Love the farm stand! I have a small U-pick lavender field on a busy highway in Oregon. There’s a locking mailbox attached to a post with instructions for cutting. It’s also on the honor system. We saw a big increase in customers after adding signs 1/8 of a mile either direction. People mentioned that it was just enough advance notice before stopping. Your veggies look delicious and I love your bouquets!!! Best of luck! Good luck

For a car driving at 80 miles .. you will need a lot more eye catching attractions from far.. here in Florida .. I see citrous stands on I-95 with huge bags with plastic oranges hanging all over the front looks like fresh .. people stop just by being tempted with those bags .. have a canopy or colorful awning in the front.. the signs should be I. Maroon red and green .. to catch the eyes .. red roof of your house should be continued to your stand somehow .. it’s catchy .. have a few evergreen potted plants by the front .. I am thinking many of those who are buying flowers may eat out a lot or buy veggies cheaply from big stores and unaware of the taste of your local produce .. give them ideas .. like hummus next to bell peppers Carrots and cucumbers .. we Indian love to cook a lot of veggies .. always for every meal, although some of us are non veg !!! Not sure about that habit among people here !! They rather buy a bag of precut veggies for a quick meal .. or something .. none of my colleagues eat veggies like I do .. and I grow my own in Florida with massive heat and the Sun 😳🙄

Love your lighting inside. I would agree that your stand blends into your fencing. I'd change the door to red and paint open on the inside with farm name. Add a veggie/flower mural so it's eye catching. Not sure if you have the room to put a ladder type display for your bouquets, but it might free up some more counter/wall space. Most definitely add signs 1/4 mile down the road so they can start slowing down. Even something as corny as "Does your sweety need a bouquet today?". Love your obtaining your goals.

Congratulations on getting the stand up and running. It looks great, and I'm sure it will be speeding away with sales very quickly, but I may have been tempted to have the doors red, because it would match your roof, and what people are already used to seeing with your portable stand. It's a shame you don't have a load of funky pumpkins to dress the outside with too, but I guess they could be pretty difficult growing in your heat, and their water requirements? I absolutely loved that dark red sunflower bouquet!

My local stands operates on the honor system, there’s a locked cash box and it’s just open all the time with the farmers coming and going. It’s pretty cool knowing I can just pop over there whenever instead of waiting for a farmers market, we have 3 in one area with varying offerings so it’s such a fun little morning trip. And mine don’t have dope flower arrangements, I wish I could visit yours too!

When you add your signs. Maybe have a list/or calendar showing what you are expecting to provide in the coming weeks. That way folks can see you'll have x vegetable available next week, and they'll know they can get it from you. Not knowing would limit my spending. Also, maybe use the inside of your door with a sign, if allowed. You can write something up that would only be visible when the door is open.

Have you thought about painting the door red? Red means ‘stop’ and might make people look at farm stand when they are driving by because it’s so bright. Also it’s on theme with ‘Red Roof Family Farm’ and your red roofed canopy. I love the blue color you picked out, it’s really pretty:) but the red might help with advertising.

I stumbled on this youtube site because I watch other farmers and DIY people. To draw people in you need nicely made signs advertising what you have specifically, bell peppers, green beans, cucumbers, etc. The flowers are beautiful, sure, but try making the veggies stand out more by specifics, like peppers (how much each) or cucumbers on sale 2 for a buck. You have a long white fence that is screaming for signage. You could make or get cheap frames and poster board to make colorful snazzy signs and hang them on the fence with hooks, when you are done for the day, take the signs off the hooks and re-use every day or change them to something different when you have different produce, like pumpkins and squash. Another idea is to park your cars out front, if it looks like you have current shoppers, and if you have good stuff, and a few shoppers, then I'm stopping in to see what you have too! Spray paint white lines on the gravel to show parking spots. These two things alone would have me stopping in to see what you have. Signs, and good parking, easy to get in and out. Nice, neat, signs. Not color crayon children's art, although those are the best kind. Also might want to advertise who you are on the front of your big white shop wall lol. I wish you all good things on your path, hang in there!

Different options every few days depending on your harvest. Best wishes on selling more vegetables.

Great stand, so glad you got it up and going. Maybe next year you could plant up a couple barrels of flowers out front. Always need some bright spots to draw people in. Pumpkins and Fall things, like haybales, this time of year would be great out front. Your red easyup out front when it isn't too windy would draw the eye, and show you are open. Definitely more signage. Even when heading for the farmstand, I would look for the sandwich boards and open signs. Inside "Everything grown here on the farm". Outside " Eat locally grown". You all grow the most beautiful veggies and flowers, and work so hard. I wish you every success.

Also, I know more expense, but a banner on the fence, with photo of veggies all over it,would show the produce is inside.

Congratulations on your store. How about getting your outside walls paint one wall with fruit. Display the odd bucket of flowers on the outside to catch ones eye. Wishing you all the best. Elizabeth from South Africa.

Congrats on the farm stand! Serena, you are really hitting your stride with those bouquets. They are beautiful. I’m disappointed more people aren’t buying the food because it looks so tempting to me. Finally, the dancing was priceless.

Congratulations on completing your farm stand. I wouldn’t be discouraged that flowers have been your main sellers for this first week, as far as spontaneous purchasing goes, flowers verses carrots or tomatoes it’s easier to justify. Now being consistently open and Ian spruiking The farm stand to every customer at the farmers market, hopefully regular repeat customers will be the norm. Since you both love garlic, have you ever tried making garlic braids? Or dried strings of chilli. Not sure on the popularity in your area but a great saleable wall decoration and higher value veggie items. Some notes. Obviously things will change over time as you figure out what your needs are (and videos only show a tiny insight) and time and money constraints. A wifi camera/motion sensor on the doorway could allow a quick check if anything needed restocking before physical going to the stand. Do you have a air curtain over the door? Aswell as reducing bugs and dirt it should help keep the ac air inside and reduce the load on the ac unit. When the stands due for a repaint in a year or two, if you wanted to smooth out some of the dark ‘gaps’ that appear between the joints in carpentry, fill with spackle or silicone etc then paint for a smoother finish.

More work, but.... whenever we wanted to sell something to people who didn't intend to buy it already was through inspiration. How about simple recipe cards you can post near specific veg that they can just snap a pic of and then buy the veg to make it. Treat it like crafting/cooking projects people can try with your veg at home. I always need side dish inspiration. Dinner is just so daily, right? I'd love some inspiration! ;) The stand is so frickin adorable! You have a Following and they will catch onto the new look. Congratulations!

Great idea. When I sold at the farmers market I used to bring different recipes printed out, especially for things like rubarb, squash, zucchini etc. that helped people learn how to use certain ingredients.

This is excellent. I reckon you need to put some signs a little further up the street before people get to your house though. That's what most roadside stands have around here - so you've got a second to think about stopping before you pass it!

A block under some of the flower buckets to tier them. More colour to make the shop stand out from the fence and house.

Yes the blocks you suggest are called risers in the marketing world and they work wonders for displaying product, adding depth, better vision of product and making the whole display more visually appealing and you can use all sorts of things you have around... painted bricks or blocks, blocks of wood, crates, etc.

You guys work so hard and you stay so positive, very motivating. I really hope you will be profitable soon, the more I watch you the less I understand how can one make living from farming. I tried to think what else could you do and I thought, don't you sell eggs? I didn't see that on the sign, next to the road. You could maybe also mark some parking lots to make pulling over and leaving safer? Greetings, Judit

Congrats on getting the stand done! Looks awesome! Did you know that those two bright 'stars' you're showing in the dusk timelapses are Jupiter and Saturn? If you own a pair of good binoculars, you can see Jupiter's moons and maybe even the rings of Saturn

So excited for you in this big step in your farm! I can see from a quick scroll down the comments that you are already getting lots of advice (which you didn't ask for...) but I'm here to give you some more! - As a very anxious person, I would be sooo much more likely to stop if you'd advertised that it's a self-service e-payment stand, perhaps with step-by-step instructions on a board outside. The idea of walking into a little farm shop with a farmer sat in there fills me with genuine dread, so if I understood the process from the off, I would totally integrate this into my regular grocery run (if I was passing by - unfortunately I'm in the UK, haha!) - You should definitely install signs in the lead up to the shop so that people have a few moments to decide to stop and then stop. For me, even if I'd really wanted to buy fresh flowers and veggies, I wouldn't be able to make that decision quickly enough when they came into view, particularly if there were other cars behind - Anything to make the stand itself more visible would definitely help! - Information and signage to emphasise that it is grown literally just a few metres away, organically! However, I realise you've spent dozens and dozens of hours considering the stand and I haven't so you're probably way ahead of me. It will be a huge pleasure to watch how this grows :) Keep taking it easy. It's great to see you back on KZbin when you can manage it

So happy to see your video pop up! Maybe set up your tent outside with some veggies and flowers, as well as the inside. Then when people stop they will see/learn the process. Maybe use the fence as your billboard!
