My former organic vegetable and sunflower farm had a few revenue channels. The one revenue channel that probably required the most labor was the numerous farmers markets. It was so exciting to make a new connection and add a new market, especially with our mobile farm stand truck. Being a marketer at heart, creating new connections was my favorite part!

However, I recall the anticipation of market days…waking up super early to harvest, clean, prep, pack the truck, drive to the destination, move all the produce and sunflowers out of the truck to the market destination, setup the market, sell and connect with customers, pack up all the stuff that wasn’t sold, head back to the farm, unpack, sort everything out for donation, sale or compost, and then think about what we needed to prep for the next day. I didn’t mind the work at all . I actually enjoyed it. But was it worth the revenue it was bringing in or could my time be used more wisely,...and economically? The answer was yes and Megan Neubauer describes it perfectly in her book, Pick Your Own Farming, Free Yourself from Farmers Markets and Join the Agritourism Revolution. Jump right in and learn why agritourism became a no-brainer for her farm and transitioned her to a very profitable Texas farm.
