1st market

organic heirloom green onion bunches

I started out with high hopes and 25 bunches of green onions. I was slowly deflated through the morning, as I failed to sell anything. By the end of the day I had made a whopping $3. Not even enough to cover the gas to market. I returned home pissed off and upset at those who did not follow the markets rules, and myself for not selling more. It will be a few weeks before I return to market, and next time I am going to the big market, not the local market, hopefully I will have better luck next time, but until then we are eating green onions at every meal; in tuna fish salad on mashed potatoes, and in eggs and cheese.

  1. Those look perfect. Nice job. Next time at the market will be better, at least now you know what to expect.

    Learning.
    Growing.
    Experiencing.

  2. Marketers are a strange lot. People more inclined to buy from stands with multiple items, even if they only purchase one item. It’s bizzarre.

    Chop and freeze some of those green onions. I put a full bunch in my taco filling with ground turkey or beef. Meat, onions, spices. It freezes well, too.
