Filmed on June 22, 2024. Farmers' Market Day! Getting trucks and the mobile trailer loaded for a big day of sales and unloading upon their return home. Also, their reactions of how the markets went during the brutal heat wave in the midwest.

A great vid showing how the kids involvement is so important to the process, not to mention, they get recognition !! 👍

I noticed you guys sell candy and salsa along with your produce at your farmers markets. So when we do our farmers markets for our farm we recently starting making kettle corn at the market as well. It’s pretty sad to say but we now make way more money off the kettle corn than the farm. The farms profit margins plummeted with our inflated overhead cost over the last 4 years. Food for thought kettle corn is a goldmine if you need extra cash. The kettle corn has saved us so we can keep farming.

You can probably save a lot of money if you get some white cardboard coated so you can use dry markers on them, and you wont have to throw them away when you change prices, just erase with a sponge. :)

Can't wait to have tomato's to make my salsa! I really hope I have the time and tomato's to make a bunch to can this year! It has been too long since I had any of it! Hope your able to have some corn to capitalize on the holiday and make lots of folks happy!

Thanks Bill! Sometimes it’s hard to film. A lot of the details happening behind-the-scenes because it just takes so much more effort, hopefully the videos of us harvesting our crops will be a little easier

Why can't you sell the berries in some locations?

@wishwellfarms 10 күн бұрын

Great question, I answered this in several past videos, but if you haven’t seen them, I will explain. All the markets we go to, except 2 require you to only sell what you grow, but we have two of them that allow you to sell neighboring farms produce. We don’t grow berries, but some of our friends down the road do and we help them sell some of their fruit at those two markets only.

Ive watched 6 videos and in every video you say "thatll be coming up in a video" or "Ill make a video about this later" ..and you never do.. lol. Anyway, cool channel.

Yeah, I know I always have good intentions but sometimes hard to remember what I talked about in a prior video since I’m filming so often, but for the most part it eventually gets film, but not in the order I had originally intended. I better just stop saying that from now on lol

@munchkin5674 14 күн бұрын

You have no help loading your trucks and trailer? Obviously you can only hold produce so long, (hours, days), even in coolers. What do you do with the produce that does not sell at your Saturday morning markets?

@wishwellfarms 6 күн бұрын

some is able to be sold on monday and tuesday, the rest is either taken to a food bank or thrown out.

Why not use a white board or chalk board for your price signs that will save huge money.

@wishwellfarms 14 күн бұрын

@@matthanes2050 we did that for years and it was the biggest pain in the butt constantly having to have new markers and chalk in everybody’s totes and ways to clean them off. And those markers are not cheap nor are dry race boards and when you got seven locations, this is a very expensive way to do it not to mention most people cannot write neatly especially the guys ha ha

@@wishwellfarms fair point I didn’t think of that. I’m up in Canada we can get all that stuff at the dollar store and when you said $12 for the cards you use and that’s USD which is $16 CAD give or take ya I agree that’s outrageous.

I just have a small (11) raised bed garden and absolutely love it. I do grow both pickling and a slicing cucumber. I notice you store everything in you walk in cooler, and everything looks good for 2/3 days of being in there. Where my cucumbers after a day or so start to feel rubbery. Could it be the type of cucumber? I do a string trellising system under shade cloth, it’s no green house, but it does work. Thank you

@@wishwellfarms I'm sure you've tried everything but just in case you haven't. We used to use pricing signs that would flip. This was in a produce department at a store, so there may be reasons this wont work for you, but I just wanted to mention it - they are commonly called accordion pricing strips. Hope the reason of the season goes well, best wishes and happy 4th.

Oddly, all of your employees are so young and the same age. This type of age discrimination is clearly done on purpose when hiring, but why?

You have got to be joking right? We offer seasonal employment for high school and college kids to make money during the summer. And This was only half of my crew. The other half are mid 20s, 32 years old and a 50-year-old.

Troll alert. It’s a transitional, character building job one does as they are preparing for their future. It’s not so common nowadays. We bring in temporary, seasonal foreign employees personally. I often think of all the kids sitting around with zero sense of purpose, as I watch my crews working.
