Are farmers markets worth it? Or is there a better way to sell your farm products?

In this video, I share why we stopped doing farmers markets and what we did instead to grow our farm saleswithout leaving the farm.

When we first started, the market was a great place to meet people, get our name out there, and learn how to talk about what we raised. But after a while, we realized something:

We were spending hours every weekend loading coolers, setting up tents, and hoping it didnt rain. And when we added up the time, labor, and stress, it just didnt make sense anymore.

Thats when we had our email epiphany.

Instead of setting up supervolcano a booth, I sent out a quick email to our listand orders came in.

Not because we were running a sale but because we reminded people we existed.

In this video, well cover:

The pros and cons of selling at a farmers market

How we built our email list (and how loose women you can too)

The simple website + email combo that now drives the bulk of our sales

Why we still think markets are greatjust not forever
