The Heart of Our Business: The Joy and Effort Behind Our Weekly Market Setups

Setting up at festivals and farmers markets each week is no small feat. It involves a lot of hard work, dedication, and meticulous planning. But let me tell you, it’s absolutely worth it. This is the heart of our business, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

The Preparation

Our week starts long before the market day. We begin by crafting our products, ensuring each item meets our high standards. From soap making to packaging, every detail is handled with care. We also plan our inventory meticulously, making sure we have enough stock to meet the demands of our loyal customers.

The Early Mornings

Market days start early. Really early. We’re up before the sun, loading our vehicle with all the essentials – tables, tents, displays, and of course, our products. It’s a team effort. 

The Setup

Once we arrive, the real work begins. Setting up our booth is like assembling a puzzle. We arrange our products in an inviting way, ensuring everything is accessible and visually appealing. This process can take a couple of hours at our bigger events, but it’s crucial for creating a welcoming atmosphere for our customers. 

The Market Experience

When the market opens, all the hard work pays off. We get to interact with our customers, share our passion for our products, and hear their stories. There’s nothing quite like seeing someone’s face light up when they find the perfect soap or stop to tell us how much they love the bar they bought the week before. These interactions are the highlight of our week and remind us why we do what we do.

The Tear Down

As the market day comes to an end, it’s time to pack up. This part can be just as challenging as the setup. We carefully pack our products, ensuring nothing gets damaged, and load everything back into our vehicle. It’s a tiring process, but we always leave with a sense of accomplishment.

Why It’s Worth It

Despite the early mornings, the heavy lifting, and the long hours, setting up at markets is incredibly rewarding. It’s where we connect with our community, build relationships, and share our passion. It’s the heart of our business, and we wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Thank you for supporting us and being a part of our journey. We look forward to seeing you at the next market!
