I'm happy for you, Scott- it's great that you're in a location that attracts passersby so easily. Guess you'll have some regulars before you know it! Wishing you continued success-

Congratulations Scott! In a few years, when you are knocking down 6 figures a year selling produce, these early memories will be your fondest! Continued success!

That is the best thing about starting with little overhead! You make bigger returns.

Scott, you are so smart! The business model you adopted where you manage your overhead so you aren't in debt is wise as can be. I think your little stand is very cute too. You are doing lots of hard work, but you are thinking too. Sincere congrats to you, I think you are a lot of people's hero now.

Thank's so much for everyone's encouragement. It is very...well....encouraging!
I passed a new milestone as of yesterday evening. I am officially "in the black" as of my last customer yesterday, as I sold out for the day yet again. I even had 4 customers at the stand at the same time "fighting" over what I had yesterday early on. I was in the garden at that exact moment picking as fast as I could to keep up! Pretty amazing actually for such a humble beginning.

Congratulations on attaining "in the black" status, Scott. All the rest is just gravy! Hope you and your garden can keep up with the demand.
