Thinking about selling at farmers markets, festivals, or vendor events? This episode walks you through every single step: from getting your business license and the right insurance, to setting up your booth, prepping for weather, taking payments, and capturing customers after the event. I'm sharing exactly what I did to go from zero to $900 in sales at my very first event. Whether you make soap, skincare, food, or crafts... this is the setup guide I wish I'd had.

In this episode, I talk with Jessica Bowman from White Barn Farm about transitioning from a 7-year plant sale to their very first farm stand. We dive into what actually sells (hint: honey is #1), lessons from years of plant sales, and what it really takes to run a successful farm stand.

If you're thinking about selling plants, honey, or farm goods, this one is for you!
