A good sales day is around 400$ in revenue, of which most is by orders from restaurants. They cover our bases, but don't make us much profit. The retail is where the money comes in. We always hope for around 50$ in orders, and 100-150$ in extras to sell to walk-ins, well, walk-bys. I generally go back home when we have less than 10% of the expected revenue left on the table, and the time is up.

Markets are always special. Today is our farmer's market here - that one is my favorite. I joined it when it was 2 weeks old, and have helped building it ever since. It feels like a baby to me, and has shaped me in many ways.

I did help build the one in Ibarra, too, but, not as actively involved, which led to it being taken over by others, and resulted in less quality. A few of the more-or-less originals are still there, selling really interesting products, but we're now 4 out of 40 booths, when having started as 12 of 12. Too many left. The municipality pushed for diluting the threshold to get into the market, and now we have a lot of re-sellers from the wholesale market. Since then, revenue has dropped, a lot less people come. Can't win them all.
