Will the Farmers Bring their Wares to a New Market?

Today's a busy day, and that's the way I like it. So many comings and goings, and so many balls in the air, I'm back and forth between my two offices, skipping across the puddles of the rapidly melting snow. First task of the day was to organize a mailing to all of the local farmers. We are keen on starting the South Deerfield Farmer's Market in May, and this was a call to arms to get a meeting organized.

Since image is important, I wanted to make sure there was a colorful address label and that the letter itself included our GoNOMAD Cafe logo in olive green. For this I had to call in Joe. He helped me download templates for Avery labels and set up a complete folder of our various cafe and website logos, and I am putting together the invitations to the meeting so they look nice and make people want to come.

After we get commitments from at least six farmers, we can roll the ball ahead and plan out advertising, signage, and especially, getting everything set with the town. The location, in a town-owned parking lot near the center, is key, and this is the location that Carolyn Ness, a selectman, had wanted us to consider.

You'll hear about how this venture fares. Right here on Readuponit in the weeks ahead.
