These tips or being a successful farmers market vendor are what I learned from eight years of selling at farmers markets.
Note:
-We do not offer farm tours or accept visitors
-We do not sell from the farm
-We do not ship our farm’s products
-We do not sell live animals

Just want to say hope your read this but you are the reason why I want to have my own farm and wish you would post every other day. Because I enjoy your videos so much ☺ï¸
Terrific presentation. Thanks for sharing your experience!
loved this walk through video
Hi Pete,
Thank you for these tips. We are planning to offer our farm raised goods at the Market this summer so this was helpful. One question..How do you keep your meat cold? We cannot do freezers as yet but we're thinking coolers. Any suggestions??
So very helpful! WOW! 🎉
fantastic video, thanks Pete
Absolute top quality advice!
I'm in San Francisco, but when I contacted CUESA(farmer's market association) they said they weren't accepting applications, and the Clement Street Market won't tell me anything at all. What do I do now?
I learn something from every video Pete.
Just recently found your channel….great content! Few videos I seen you had a Kalamazoo t shirt on a video…. This one a Michigan t shirt… I was thinking how cool it would be to visit you at the market. Then I realized you’re in NY lol. Did you go to school in Michigan?
Pete, What happens when big corporations try to get involved?
great tips! great video, thanks Pete!!!

Wow! That farm market is beautiful next to a wonderful peaceful lake. Anybody know what part of city/state is this?
This is such a needed video! I value you this so much, reading people and how to handle them is always my favorite part and it was nice to be able to relate to that and gives me encouragement start at a market!
i stumbled on this channel and have been Binge Watching. Thank you for taking the time out of your happy busy life to share with us. My uncle had a farm in Michigan and when I was a youngster, my sister and I spent 3 weeks each year in the summer on the farm. Brings back good memories and good smells. Yup even the cow paddies !!!
Hello Peter, great video. Love when you talk about a subject you love… working at the farmer's market. Be well.
Hj I was there and talked to you wile I was there
Farmers markets are not just a place to get fresh produce or farm to table products it's an experience.
Thanks for covering this topic, you are spot on. Know your customer
Excellent video Pete 🙂 well done on topic of communication skills plus market sales too and do fully understand too!
Hi Pete, As ALWAYS, love your videos! Just a thought for a potential topic. You mentioned 2nds…maybe you could cover what in your mind makes a piece of meat a 2nd? How to look for a good piece of meat? Have a great day sir!
Great content . Thanks
Are you a Libra?

Love your market videos!
Great point always as a sale person to learn.
Thought I only followed you cause your an awesome gamer but it’s even better seeing the Michigan shirt
Keep up the great work Pete. You’re a bright light in a crazy world. 😃
When not set up at a Farmers Market I enjoy visiting other markets to see how they are set up. The market you are at looks like a dream! Great video and information.
You are just such an genuinely honest person and a joy to watch. I am so glad I stumbled upon you, your wonderful family and farm, and of course, this channel.
Pete, I truly appreciate this video. As others have said, your ability to communicate on a level that all backgrounds and lifestyles of people can understand. Were approaching our first year at our farm and are still learning the basics as first generation farmers and as were going along our journey, the farmers market is in our near future. Your points in this video have been so helpful to give confidence to get going!
