We did our first market yesterday, and it was very interesting, and a LOT of fun!

Nice new small market, ground level deal, and we all got run smooth over.

We sold out in an hour and forty minutes, no price haggling, and they just kept coming, it was nice.

What I took note of that stuck in my head.

They loved the rainbow of colors in the "salad" tomatoes, the black cherry especially, and the sweet million, yellow pear, and sungold. Loved it.

They prefered the medium size tomatoes over the big guys, and the heirlooms went last, little interest.

The common theme from customers was the same. " We just want good food, the stuff in the supermarket is junk"

Back next week..
