Business management

Many farmers and producers have started off selling at farmers markets and grown to the stage where their products can also be found stocked in other outlets. They continue to sell at farmers markets because they are loyal to their customers who love them, and they value the face to face contact. Selling direct still give farmers a better return for their work.
