Every Saturday during the growing our town has a little Farmer's market along the main state highway that goes through our town. It is not a big event less than 10 vendors but their is no set-up fees or insurance required . All you have to do is show up and set-up to get a spot.
I went to it this weekend to see if some of my chainsaw carved mushrooms would sell along with some of my turned bowls and misc. items would also sell. I was surprised to say the least. I sold just about all the mushrooms .Mushrooms are always good selling items but for a little 4 to 5 hour sale I did better than other sales I have been in with the same items. The turned lathe items was kind of a bust only one bowl and two mini mushrooms. No one showed an interest in my so called trees either. Didn't expect much on those just trying something different .
The one thing that really surprised me was I had two spalted ugly mushrooms that sold quick compared to the more finished mushrooms. It is hard to tell which from the pic but it is the one in the front row far left. I had two , one didn't make the picture because it was the first one sold. I had hardly unloaded the truck and was just setting up ,turned around and their was a woman with cash in her hand asking how much for this one . Go figure . I had less work into those two mushrooms and got the same money as the fancier mushrooms.
