SAMPLING AT THE FARMERS’ MARKETS

Sampling at the farmers’ markets I remember when I was about to do my first farmers’ market. I wanted to sample to everyone and anyone to share the tastes of my business with the world. I had prepackaged samples that I put out in front at my booth, inviting and welcoming everyone walking by to enjoy. It was the new food business owner enthusiasm at play. It didn’t take long for some folks to ruin it lol.  The rookie days of sampling… I have learned over the years that there is a time and place for sampling, and a strategic method to…

Fender bender at the farmers’ market part 2

I’ve been getting asked about the latest update with my fender bender incident.  And this will be the last time sharing about it. I am no longer doing business with the markets. I was prepared for my exit, but also wanted the whole claim to be done and over with before I said or did anything.  In case you have missed what has happened, you can catch up on part 1 of the fender bender incident. The other party, Reckless, that hit me did a no show at the market, thus screwing over her employer and the market. She just ran off…

Fender bender at the farmers’ market

On May 26, 2024, 9:48 a.m., I was involved in a fender bender at the farmers’ market. A car flying in reverse was not looking and coming too quickly and crashed right in to my car. When I saw that they were backing out, I came to a full stop to let them go first. If they were looking, they would have seen me. I honked when she got too close, but it was too late.    I was ready to get pissed off when I got out of the car. But when I got out and the other party…

About us

Starting a business from scratch can be overwhelming. There is no one size fits all guidebook and the rules and laws can vary from state to county, making you even more confused. Before I launched my business, I started taking notes as I began to prepare to launch and then  compiled about the experiences in my journey into blog posts to share. I share about my experiences, hoping that others can use the posts as reference (including myself, as I sometimes refer back to certain posts to remember things and use as a resource). The learning never ends and as I continue to learn new things and gain new experiences as an entrepreneur, I will be sharing about my journey on here! 

Sometimes I just want to vent. Some posts will be whiny posts about the struggles only fellow baking business owners can relate to. I’d love to hear your stories too (feel free to share in the comments). 
My business is based in Orange County, California. Laws vary by state and county (sometimes a lot lol), so please check with your state and county on specific things

We’d love to hear from you!

If you have any questions or topics that you’d like to see covered on starting and running a baking business, we welcome hearing from you!
