Success at the farmers market starts well before you get to the market. This online class is targeted to new and beginning farmers.

First, we will suggest essential market items, second, we will give you handy harvesting and packaging tips, third, we’ll talk about how to plan loading and unloading the truck. We will wrap up by discussing ideas on setting up your display for maximum sales potential!
