  • #40 - How to 'Market' at Your Market or Farm Stand - Live Event Strategies to Sell a Ton
    Mar 23 2026

    How do we actually get more business from markets or farm stands. You gotta hear these strategies!

    In this episode, we’re sharing what worked (and what surprised us) from a recent event—and how we turn everyday foot traffic into real sales and, most importantly, repeat and referral customers.

    We talk about simple strategies we use at markets, like:

    • How we attract people to our booth
    • What makes them stop, stay, and buy
    • Easy ways we increase sales without being pushy
    • How we turn first-time buyers into repeat customers

    We’re also breaking down why markets aren’t just about selling for the day—they’re one of the best ways to grow our business long-term.

    If we’re selling at farmers markets, pop-ups, or running a cottage food business, this episode will help us think differently and make more from every event.

  • #39 - Huge Grazing Wedding Table Lessons...The Good, Bad and the Ugly
    Mar 5 2026

    In this episode, we walk through what really goes into a very large grazing wedding table setup—from the early preparation and food planning to transporting everything safely and setting it up beautifully at the venue.

    We share our behind-the-scenes process for menu, shopping, preparing meats, cheeses, and accompaniments ahead of time, how we pack and organize everything for transport, and the tools and supplies we bring to make setup efficient and fast. We also talk about the small details that make a big difference when creating a wedding grazing table that looks full, inviting, and elegant.

    If you’ve ever wondered how much preparation goes into a grazing wedding table setup, or you’re thinking about offering grazing tables for weddings in your own food business, this episode gives you a realistic look at the planning, logistics, and lessons that come with it.

    Whether you’re a charcuterie business owner, a food vendor, or simply curious about what happens behind the scenes of a wedding grazing table setup, we’re sharing what we’ve learned from experience.
