I have a tendency to delay beginnings until I can do something perfectly. This has never served me very well. We started our farm stand with a make shift folding table stand that did not live up to my idea of how things should look. However, people bought flowers and eggs anyway! In fact, we sold out several times. Our neighbors were nice enough to approach me and offer a perfect spot along the main road which helped even more for visibility.

As the weather started to change, I knew we didn’t have a lot of time before the rains came. We needed a weather friendly stand asap. Many thanks to my husband for helping me design something practical and spending his fleeting spare time building it. We set it up on the way out the door for school drop offs one misty morning. Thus far, it seems to be a success…in all its tiny glory.

The farm stand is now in a new location (see about to find us!). The bouquets have become bigger and the products have changed…ebbed and flowed. I really enjoy the stand as a creative outlet!
