Last night was our first Farmers Market. What a blast we had!! We didn't really know what to expect, this is all new to us! Luckily, we had set up a "trial run" the night before, practicing how to set up our canopy and tables so we didn't look too foolish amongst all the professionals there :). How very invigorating it is to make your first sale. I must say, our little "sample jars" (for free sniffing of product!!) were a huge success. Not only did they tie the whole look together, people really seemed to enjoy actually seeing and smelling the product. I think it could quite easily be a little overwhelming, the number of products we are carrying, but the ability to smell and look at them and see what makes each tea so special is really a fabulous little "bonus". Case in point, our Blueberry Black Tea has little bits of Cornflower in it which lends to a purple hue when brewed, but also adds a bit of flashiness when looking at the looseleaf tea.
All in all, we took away many notes for next week, but our excitement is growing. We were shocked and impressed by the support we felt not only from the customers, but the surrounding vendors. Our community is so giving and willing to help, we are truly proud to be a part of it.
Sneak peek for next week??? Samples of brewed iced tea! YUM!
