Display That Sells
Farmers markets are packed with customers, but they’ll walk right past if your table doesn’t catch their eye. Here’s how to stand out and sell more — from fresh produce to handmade goods.


Start With the Right Table

🌽 Tip: Use crates and baskets to elevate your display and create levels.


Smart Layout Examples

  • Front Table Only: Quick grab-and-go items, perfect for high turnover
  • L-Shape Display: Showcase variety and guide traffic from left to right
  • Multi-Table Setup: 2–3 tables allow display + checkout separation
