From Booth to Business: How To Become An All-Star Market Vendor
At FoodLab, we know that the farmers market tradition is very much alive in Detroit, and the energy, ideas and products introduced by new vendors are making them much more interesting, attractive and inclusive. We believe that there's no better place to launch your own food business! But it's not as easy as whipping up a product and setting up a card table. Establishing a food business involves a gauntlet of research, marketing/branding, inspection and permitting challenges, not to mention general business to-dos.
Come join us for a night of learning and discussion around what it takes to be a successful market vendor! We'll dig into best practices and the nitty-gritty of market strategy with market organizers, managers, and vendors.
