New vendors should come to markets.

They should come and check it out because each market has its own vibe and its own personality.

You need to know what's going to work well with you

because all growers and all vendors are going to have their own personalities as well.

Also are you the retail person?

If you're a grower that's great, but are you the one that is good with the face-to-face with the customer?

Do you want to build the relationship with the customer?

Or are you happy just to produce the product, load it on a truck and

let somebody else deal with the retail end?

You also have to think about branding and how you're perceived by your customers.

How you set up your booth, what kind of tables, what kind of table height,

what kind of table cloth, maybe no table cloth, what kind of wood, what kind of signage you have,

how you display your produce, how you display your items that you make.

Choose your market.

Look at the bylaws, read their contract, decide if that's a good fit for you.

It's not a yard sale. You're getting involved in a community, a group of people.

Our market runs 27 weeks. That's a long time.

If you're continually by a certain other vendor you're going to develop a rapport, hopefully.

So choose where you want to go.

Also, don't over book your time.
