What's up everyone? Welcome back to the epic gardening podcast. Today I have an interesting announcement for you. I realized that yesterday was actually the 100th episode of the epic gardening podcast and you know initially I started this thing just as an experiment I told

my cousin I said hey I'm gonna start a podcast why don't you start one he was

lagging let's just say that he was lagging on his goal to start a podcast. And so I said I'd start one just to show him how it was done. And look where we are. It's been 100 episodes, which is over three months, and there's been over 50,000 downloads on the show. So I'm so thankful to all of you who are

tuning in and listening and sending me questions and learning. That's why I started this whole thing.

It's just to share as much as I know and learn from all of you as well

about growing food, being more sustainable, just being more plugged in with our environment and our

natural systems.

So thanks again for listening and today I'm going to talk about the farmers market.

Now I've sold at the farmers market before, I've sold to restaurants and I've actually collaborated on a book about both

farmers markets and how to be a quality marketer of your farm. Now I know this is

not applicable to a lot of you out there who are just growing in a more

hobbyist fashion, but I think these lessons can actually apply to all sorts of different things

in business.

And if you do have aspirations to be at the farmers market,

well, I hope this helps.

So here we go.

Here are three ways that you can edge out the competition

when it comes to being at the farmers market and selling your produce.

Number one, be a friend to everyone around.

And I don't just mean your customers.

I can't tell you how many times I walk through a

farmer's market as a customer and I see someone sitting under their tent
