Did you know that when you see us at a market, weāve probably been preparing for it for at least six months?
In early spring, Iām already applying for holiday shows, coordinating schedules and staff, and waiting to see if weāre accepted into heavily juried markets.
Once accepted, there are city licenses, product prep, staffing, setup and teardown, and then sales tax filings for the different cities where we sell.
Making the product is one job. Running everything behind the scenes is a whole other one.
So when you shop a local market, youāre supporting far more than what you see on the table. Youāre supporting months of work, planning and a small business that is very grateful you stopped by. ā¤ļø
