An income at farmers markets
We have been selling at farmers markets for over 15 years and over 70% of our income comes from these open air markets. We love dealing with most customers, especially the ones that come back year after year. Some of our clients have afforded us to watch their children grow up and go onto college by coming every week and year after year. That is one of many perks being a farmer selling at the markets.
One little girl drew a picture of Daniel and I at our stand--that drawing hung in our truck all season and then in my office for almost 13 years(till a leaky roof destroyed it). She told us a few weeks a go that it was time for her to graduate college and she was moving out of state. With teary eyes she said the hardest thing was to know she may never see us again.
Not knowing our influence on people when we give advice, talk, even say hello how are you today, and/or just taking a few moments to lesson sure can come down hard on you (for us a good way) when one of these people says what she said.
We have done the markets for a long time and hope to continue with them if not for our selves them for others like her
God bless little one my his hands protect you and free you
