Farmers market playbook

Farmers Market Selling

Apply to markets, design a booth people stop at, price for profit, and convert market shoppers into weekly customers.

Farmers markets are still one of the highest-converting channels for a home food seller. A $30 booth fee can generate $800-$2,500 in a single Saturday if your product, display, and pricing are dialed in.

Here's the playbook market vendors use.

Get into a market

Markets take applications 1-3 months ahead. Apply to two or three at once, include photos of your packaging and a clean booth mockup. Smaller neighborhood markets are easier to get into and have less vendor competition.

Booth setup that converts

Tiered displays beat flat tables. A clear price board (no asking) beats no signs. A signup sheet or QR code to your storefront turns one-time shoppers into next week's preorders.

Turn market shoppers into recurring customers

Hand every buyer a card with a QR to your FoodDropr storefront so they can preorder your next drop and skip the line. Markets are great for discovery — your storefront is where customers come back.
