If you love to bake you can sell your goods right now at farmer’s markets. There are plenty of farmer’s markets available to sell your items. Just look at your village hall for brochures or check online for farmer’s markets in your area.

Most farmers’ markets are open on Saturdays, but there are farmer’s markets that are open every day depending on where you live.

Farmer’s markets used to sell only fresh vegetables. These days, you can sell homemade jellies and jams, crafts, fresh pies and other homemade desserts, etc. Depending on what you like to bake or create, you can sell them at a farmer’s market.

You will have to price all of your items. A good idea would be to put your name and phone number on each item. That way, when a customer runs out of the delicious homemade item, he or she can call you and purchase some more.

Make sure you have one or two long folding tables that are easy to carry around with you. Bring a table cloth for each table to display all of your items on to make everything very pleasing to the eyes. Bring enough single dollar bills, five dollar bills, ten dollar bills and change in a safety box or container. You will also need bags so customers can easily keep shopping at the farmer’s market. Either save bags from grocery stores or buy new ones at a discount store.

Arrive early to the farmer’s market so you can set up your items and be ready for the early bird customers. A lot of people get up early and start shopping so you do not want to be setting up your table(s) and missing out on potential business.
