Greetings another market today tomorrow.
2 weeks ago, 28 Feb I suggested you ask any of the 4 questions below.
Missed the opportunity at the last market, tomorrow and the next is another opportunity to ask a question.
1) When you purchase a vegetable, eggs, meat or fish ask the farm stall attendanant or famer what's their favorite way to prepare it?
- I asked this question about collard greens and the farmer shared that he steams them. I cooked my purchase this way and learned you don't need to cook such greens for hours for them to be tasty.
2) Ask the attendee at the farm stall if they have a book, TV series or movie to recommend.
3) Ask what vegetable seeds are being planted now in the greenhouses.
4) Ask your neighbors about the vendors that they look forward to shopping with and then follow-up with why .
Do at least one of the items above and that will help with fostering relationships between shoppers and vendors. It has always been those relationships that seperate the HFM from other markets.
