First sale!

[Redbaron]

Woo Hoo!,
Made my first cash sale today! Sold some jalapenos, bell peppers, sweet bananas, hot bananas, cowhorns, garlic, threw in a couple herbs for her being my first cash customer.

Up until now it was always trade a beer, or a couple jars of home made jam for some hot peppers. Or several pulling in and saying no thanks yet, waiting on the tomatoes.

Good! Now you will get the selling fever, LOL!! Good luck with the future sales.

I agree, that first cash sale is very exciting and satisfying. It validates what you're trying to do and confirms that people want what you're offering. It was a great day when I made my first cash transaction!

I just know you had your produce inspected by the FDA for cleanliness and contamination before you sold it.

Today was my first big day. I am excited. Been running the last month or so without a sign because I have had far fewer tomatoes than I could possibly hold on to. I was continually sold out just to neighbors. But today The Miracle BPF's finally came on like gangbusters. I picked about 1/2 a bushel of just The miracle's off a few small plants. That's the benefit of determinates. When they come they come. Add to that a few pints of assorted cherries a pint of sungold F1 several bell peppers and 6 large squash, and I finally had enough to open the stand again. I am nearly sold out...and that's at 2 dollars for 3 Miracles! So thanks for the well wishes. It worked!

I know it is small scale for a lot of you market growers. But if you only knew my budget! I am already almost in the black and my main crop indeterminates haven't even started producing yet! I have only had 1 Big beef and no Rutgers yet! But they are coming!

Your hard work paying off. good on ya!

Hot Dawgs!

You got me excited. I'm still about 2 weeks away from serious production (Lord willing).
Good on you!

Thanks to you and everyone else offering congratulations. It is exciting. It makes it worth it. jmhammRN came by today and bought everything I had left! (except for a few I give away as part of my civic duty) Which wasn't a whole lot but I am back to having to close the stand again until I pick some more! Luckily I should have enough by tomorrow.
