We’ll explore products that customers look for at market, what you can grow and produce at home, including which products are regulated and licensed by the state, and how to navigate state regulations. We’ll talk about merchandising and creating beautiful displays, product packaging and labeling, typical market rules and regulations, and setting up at market. We’ll also dig into topics like managing your finances, and promoting your business on social media. Whether you’re a hobby gardener with a little extra produce to sell, a home baker thinking about expanding, or have a homestead producing more than you need.
