Layout & Display Tips

  • Use Crates or Baskets: Adds a rustic touch and keeps produce visible
  • Tiered Display: Elevate the back row of items for better sightlines
  • Clear Signage: Label everything — prices, product names, and specials
  • Freshness First: Put your best-looking items front and center

Canopy Consideration
Pair your table with a 10x10 tent for sun protection and professional presence. Sidewalls help if you're sensitive to heat or want to block wind.


Conclusion
The right farmers market table setup isn't just functional — it builds a shopping experience. Make it organized, appealing, and easy to navigate, and the sales will follow.
