Why We Quit the Farmers Market (and What We Do Instead)

Hey Reader,

When we first started selling from our farm, the farmers market was our weekly ritual.

It was where we met customers, told our story, and got our name out there.

But over time, the cost—in hours, labor, and energy—started to outweigh the benefits.

We were spending entire days hauling coolers, setting up tents, and hoping it didn’t rain…

…all while realizing most of our sales came from one thing: email.

So, we made a change.

We quit the farmers market.

In this week’s video, I share:

  • The real pros and cons of selling at a market
  • The simple system we replaced it with
  • How you can start building the same sales machine for your farm
