Framingham Farmers Market 2012
Saturday, June 9th, 2012Off we go with another season at the Framingham Farmers market. We started in 2007 and I think this is our 6th year here. Where you are located is important in the kettle corn biz. This market is nestled up next to a Edgell Road in Framingham, a nice and busy road with tons of traffic. Because of some construction last year, we were on the other side of the town common and that bit into our customer traffic. This year we’re back on the busy side and already sales seems to have increased. One person remarked that they smelled us popping while they drove by and had to stop and get a bag.
I’ve got a new person helping me out – Dan Bridges. He’s an old friend of mine from way back when I used to work at the Norwood cable station, producing local origination programming for the town. He helped me produce my great artist folly “alt.sex”, an indie film that I wrote and directed back in the year 2000. He’s a real hot-shot sales guy who used to be the top appliance salesman for Sears. Because I’m moving my base of operations down to the Buzzards Bay area, we need to find new places to pop and he’s hammering at this big time. Beyond farmers markets, we’re looking to find a store front and start selling retail and online.
