We got the word on Tuesday that we were accepted into the Colonial Heights Farmer’s Market. Because of Covid, last year most farmer’s markets were either closed down or running at reduced capacity. Most were not accepting new vendors. So, we put our plans on hold last year, and decided to wait and try this year. We have also been accepted for the Dorey Park Farmer’s Market starting in June.
So, all week was a rush to get everything together to sell at the farmer’s market this weekend. We have most products already made, but they all needed to be labeled in accordance with the state requirements. And then we had to make up some signage and figure out how to keep the eggs cool. We had to get the right size tent and decide on tables. We got it all together and made it to the market in time. I think we did well for our first time. And we have a list of things to do to improve next time.
I failed to take a picture of the market, so I am including a picture of the arrangement I made today with our lilacs. Each week, I try to make an arrangement using flowers from our yard all spring and summer.
