I'm excited to learn more about growing from folks here. My main interest is market farming and astronomy. I'm in the totality path of the Apr 8, 2023 eclipse and have a solar filter ready for the telescope. Home darkness is Bortle 4, but getting worse. Expect posts about ducks, purple-hull peas, and farmers market economics.
Hi, y'all!

It's very easy to grow, plant in fall, harvest in summer. We call it winter corn since the stalks stick up through the snow.

I'll second that. It's an amazing garlic knot!

Welcome!! Those are some very healthy-looking garlic bulbs!
Those are some great expectations you've set. I have been following a few mushroom growers on YouTube and some of them discuss their experiences with farmer markets. It is a topic that I am very curious about in general! The idea of growing something and then selling it directly to others is one that I find very romantic. When I lived in Oregon I used to visit a local farmer's market and I really liked the feeling of community while shopping there. Now I live in the Netherlands and unfortunately haven't encountered a market like that one.

Any good resources you've got about farmers market economics?

Sadly no, I'm still foguring it out.
