Farmers’ markets and food stands are spaces with eclectic assortments of local goods. They bring community members together and allow them to support small businesses and acquire fresh, high-quality products. If you plan to start a food stand at the next local farmers’ market event, you can optimize your vendor station by selling the following.
Produce
The top farmers’ market items that patrons search for various types of produce. Famers’ market visitors intend to find the freshest produce at these local events, which you can provide them.
Potatoes, onions, apples, peaches—there’s a wide range of fruits and veggies that perform well at food stands. Be sure to weed out any unsightly crops beforehand so that prospective customers can feel confident in the quality of your product.
Storage Accessories
The best things to sell at a farmers’ market or food stand aren’t limited to fruits or veggies, though. Your customers will need someplace to stow all that produce. With produce bags at your stand, you can fulfill the demand for storage that unprepared customers need.
At Globe Bag Company, we offer everything from vegetable boxes to onion bags and
wholesale mesh corn bags. With our affordable wholesale prices, you’ll be able to keep your food stand stocked all summer with essential produce accessories for guests to purchase and enjoy.
Homemade Skincare Products
Skincare products are some of the best things to sell at a farmers’ market or on the side at a food stand because natural products always intrigue those who enjoy skincare items. Often, people with irritable skin have better experiences with homemade skincare scrubs, lotions, and masks. This is because these products lack the harsh chemicals that exist in manufactured goods.
Jams and Preserves
Want to make the most of your fruits? Make jam and preserves out of your excess produce. Folks who are fans of breakfast are sure to appreciate an all-natural jam for their toast in the morning over some heavily processed jelly from the grocery store.
Jams and preserves also have favorable shelf lives, making them cost-effective purchases for customers at a farmers’ market. Plus, if you don’t sell them one week, they’ll still be fit for sale the following week if you refrigerate them.
