For Farmer's Market

One of our goals is to sell farm fresh eggs and chickens as well as herbal products at Farmer's Market.  We hope to get into the Farmer's Market in Lee's Summit since it is ranked one of the top markets in Missouri.  However, they have a waiting list, so we will just have to see if we get in.  I am a little nervous about being ready for this venture since it is so new to us and we are new at farming.  Anyway, I decided I should start looking for things for our future booth. I have been on the hunt for booth displays and signage.  I was waiting for my cooking class in Downtown Lee's Summit at A Thyme for Everything, and I went into a cute little shop next door.  That is where I found the Fresh Eggs sign.  I fell in love with it right away and had to buy it.  Right now it is resting in my kitchen on a small shelf above my cabinets.  Eventually, it will hang in our booth. 

 

 At an estate sale we found these bushel baskets.  These will be perfect for displaying vegetables and/or fruit for sale.  I do not like to pay full price for things, so estate sales and garage sales are a great place to find treasures.  I can't wait to garden and fill these with goodies to share. 

 Sometimes you find things in the most unexpected places.  The Farm Fresh menu sign was at T.J. Max on sale for $55.00.  The thing is, I bought it and they didn't charge me for the item.  I got home and looked at my receipt, and it wasn't on there.  This was the day before Thanksgiving.  I wasn't about to go out during Thanksgiving or Black Friday.  I don't like crowds.  I went back on Saturday and told them they forgot to charge me for the sign.  They looked so befuddled that I had actually came back in the store.  I think most people would do the same.  I couldn't feel good about using something that I didn't pay for.  It would be the same as stealing to me.  The manager called me and said she was mailing me a 20 percent off coupon.  Wahoo!  I love T.J. Max and Home Goods.  I love this sign too!  I have been looking for a chalk board sign, and this metal sign is perfect.  I think it says, "Come to my booth and buy from me."  I hope you all will come to the Lee's Summit Farmer's Market if we have the opportunity to sell there.  It is December and we are already excited for what the spring and summer season will bring!
