Who should be behind your market table?
Join the Hudson Valley Farmers Market Academy on Tuesday, June 16th at 7PM for Staffing Your Market Booth: People, Presence, and the Right Fit for Your Business.
From owner-operated booths to family teams to hired staff, we’ll explore how different vendors approach staffing, training, daily routines, and creating a consistent customer experience.
This workshop features a panel of market vendors with a wide range of business models and experiences:
Exalted Alchemy
Using principles from herbalism, astrology, and energy healing, Exalted Alchemy’s products are created with love, intention & magic, to help you feel more connected with both yourself and the universe.
Flint + Marble
Flint and Marble creates handbuilt nerikomi ceramics that blend color, pattern, and function into pieces designed for everyday use. Founded by Beacon-based ceramic artist David Jo, the business has grown from a solo creative practice into a recognizable market brand, balancing production, customer connection, and workshops.
Little Loaf Bakeshop
Little Loaf Bakeshop is an LGBTQ-owned vegan bakery that provides daily moments of joy through creative, fun, high-quality pastries and other treats. We love what we do and we hope you can taste the care and attention to detail that our team bakes (sorry we had to) into each and every product.
Six Dutchess Farm
Jennifer Kouvant and Hans Li are first-generation farmers who run Six Dutchess Farm, a 4-seasons specialty-cut flower and fiber farm in LaGrangeville, NY. They were brought together by a shared love of the land and a profound belief in the healing powers of nature and community. Together, they manage all aspects of the farm, including a 12-month seasonal flower program, a honeybee apiary, a lovable flock of Gotland sheep, and on-farm educational programs and experiences.
Whether you’re thinking about bringing on help, training staff, or just making your market days run more smoothly, this conversation will offer practical ideas you can put to use right away.
