HELPFUL HINTS
Please take into consideration that you are part of your display. We aim for a clean,
attractive look at Denver Farmers' Markets. Awnings or umbrellas are highly recommended
due to sun/heat or rain. Bring some type of weights, bottles of sand or water to weigh
down. We also suggest bringing a box of trash bags or roll of flexible plastic in case of rain
to cover you merchandise if necessary. It's best to be prepared.
A sign with your farm name is great, and customers know whom to look for when they
come back. The spirit of commerce and fair pricing are recommended.
