Farm Market today.

I sold products for the first time at the Farm Market today. I had Heirloom yellow tomato plants, strawberry jam, and homeade dry Laundry Soap.
I sold 3 plants and several soap samples. (1-2 loads for 25cents). I made $8.75, space rental was $10.00 and I spent $13.00 on other peoples products! So I'm down $14.25! I enjoyed the day though and I'm sipping on a wonderful herbal tea blend I got there. I also bought a new infuser and I couldn't resist a small boquet of wild gathered flowers. ( You know-the necessities)

That sounds like a lovely way to spend your day! I just love farmer's markets! Ours was today, unfortunately I had to do yard work. :/ WEEDS!

Becca and I browsed through the local farmer's market today, too. I spent a whole $4 buying a tumbling tomato plant for my front porch - and it came with it's first two ripe tomatoes!

That's hilariouus I always keep track of total income and always have to subtract my "debits" from spending on local yummies, too!

I helped a friend with a garage sale today. I made $8, and spent $25 on an old Lane cedar chest.

We go to farmers markets....one larger city market (Sat) and two small town markets (Tue, Fri). We actually make a living...enough to pay mortage, utilities, etc. It's great....May to Oct.

The city market is open year round, but has much less traffic from Jan to March. At that time of year it drops to 20-25% of Spring/Summer sales.

I used to shop markets, garage sales, etc, just for fun. I don't do that much now.

25 Bucks on a LANE chest that's a steal! Good for you!!!

I've missed the Farmers markets in my area for 2 weeks now needless to say my fridge is empty and I've resorted to freezer stock... I need Wednesday to come faster!!! Lol! But I did it to myself.

Yeah I did get a steal. It is an older one and I found out I can get a brand new lock for it. It was part of a recall. Apparently kids were getting themselves locked inside. There is one hole drilled in the bottom...apparently so if a kid did get locked inside it wouldn't suffocate.
