First Market

My first market.
After weeks of working very hard on baking, labelling and organising, I loaded up my car with merchandise to sell.
A long day, rolling out of bed at 5 for the final touches. Setting up from 7am, then packing up from 2pm. Getting home to a big load of washing, orders to organise, a kitchen to sort and dinner to cook. A side business is just that after all... ;-)
I had such a great time meeting new people, chatting with customers, talking about food.
It takes a while to get my name out there, for those interested in clean-eating, to find me. But this was a great way to promote my little business.
I sold about 20 kilo’s of granola! Taste testing was the way to go, one taste and one after the other grabbed a bag to take home.
These cuties did really well, although I got told over and over again that I’m too cheap... I probably have the wrong mindset. I want my costs and my time paid for, then added a percentage to market them, which pays for my stall and insurance. I don’t need to make a huge profit, I rather keep them accessible, good food is expensive enough. I love giving people healthy options, to try something different. And I’m having so much fun with it!
