The Farm Market Flyer and Plan

This was the flyer we did up when Chris worked at Caterpillar. He took some baked goods all the time in his lunch and pretty soon some of the folks he worked with asked about them. He always had a ton -- what good Momma isn't going to send her son off to work in the city without a proper amount of lunch??? Honestly, the boy should have gained 100# off my boxed lunches. I tend to overkill that way.

Either way, everyone, including his shift supervisors, started asking if we baked anything to sell. We thought about it, and sent a few things. I worried the prices were too high...they wouldn't be for where we lived back north, but here, well, life just works differently down here in our area. These folks are simple living and they know how to pinch a penny and make it scream for mercy. I swear, most of them could pinch a penny hard enough to turn it into a dime!

So, this is my starting list as it were, for the Farm Market this summer -- which, btw, hasn't opened yet. I'm a bit stumped, but I have no idea who to contact and ask, so we just watch the signs at the Ag Center each week when in town.

Share your thoughts -- we won't start off with so much stuff along with us, just a couple cookies and some bread. I want to see how it goes first. If it looks to be something folks are interested in, we will put out the list of items and take 'orders' for things, plus have the few things available all the time at the stand.
