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!

Love it!

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

ginger2778 · August 17, 2013

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.
