Fresh Market Grower Tips

Halloween has now eclipsed all other holidays as sales leader for the grower-retailer. While pumpkins may be king of the hill, there are a host of other products, including ornamental corn, broom corn, cornstalks, and popcorn, that will bring in additional income to both wholesale and retail markets.

If growing everything you sell is already a challenge, seek out other growers in your region who will grow and wholesale fall ornamental products to you directly. If you do sell direct, try to make your location a destination by creating interesting arrangements and product offerings. Create an environment that exudes warmth and charm.
