Newton Highlands Village Day 2013
Sunday, June 9th, 2013
We’ve been banging away at the Newton Indoor Farmers Market all season, so when we saw this outdoor event, we figured we’d jump on it. We’ve got 2 more weeks to go before the Newton Outdoor Farmers Market starts. We’ve been waiting all year to for this market to start up. It’s weird in that in starts in July, verses most farmers markets will start in June. The winter market never really caught on with the residents, but we know we’ll be doing fabulous once we get outside.
The Newton Highlands Village Day is basically a small street fair. The businesses within Newton Highlands could set up a table outside their store front and promote what they’ve got. They had a few kiddie rides and a smattering of different foods. It gave us a chance to see how many people recognized us from the winter market and how many remembered us from the tail end of last years outdoor market. We sold basically 4 gallons of corn oil, or 50 lbs of popcorn. Nothing to get excited about, but we’ve certainly gone through the trouble of setting up at other events, just to sell much less. We’re hoping after selling at the summer farmers market for an entire year, we’ll have many more customers and friends showing up at this event next year. The same thing happens at events at the Framingham Common. We’ve popped there at the farmers market for a few years, so when something like the Earth Day shows up, we always have plenty of friendly customers who remember us.
