If you’ve got a green thumb and you’re looking for a fun way to make some money, setting up a farmers market stand is a great idea! Fresh, locally grown produce is in high demand, and growing and selling your own food is incredibly rewarding.
Even if you don’t live on a large farm, you can still grow a wide variety of fruits and vegetables to sell at a farm stand. In fact, urban farming has become one of the hottest new trends. From hydroponic systems set up on rooftops to outdoor greenhouses, there are plenty of creative ways to get your garden growing.
Before you can start selling your goods, you’ll need to set up your space. Luckily, creating a roadside farm stand is a simple project that won’t cost you a ton of money. Here’s a look at some of the best farm stand ideas for setting up produce stands at outdoor markets.
First, Learn the Rules of Setting Up Produce Stands at Outdoor Markets
If you’re setting up afarm stand at an established farmers market, check with them to make sure you understand all the rules before you get started. You’ll need to make sure they’ve approved the items you’re planning on selling and that the farm stand space you set
If you’re looking for a fun and exciting new hobby, you might want to give fly fishing a try! It’s a great way to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy some time in the great outdoors. And, if you’re lucky, you might even catch your dinner!
What is fly fishing, and how is it different from regular fishing? We’re glad you asked! We've created this simple guide to explain the basics of this fun sport. We'll also review the gear you’ll need and discuss how to prepare for an unforgettable fly fishing getaway.
What is Fly Fishing?
Let’s start with the basics. What is fly fishing? It’s a special fishing technique that involves presenting bait, which looks like a fly, at the top or just below the surface of the water. While traditional “spin fishing” is usually done by casting bait out into the water and waiting for the fish to bite, fly fishing is far more active.
There’s a real art to learning how to fly fish. Most fly fishermen (and women!) enjoy challenging themselves to perfect their techniques and catch as many fish as possible. While fly fishing used to be primarily used to catch trout, today, people are using the technique to catch all kinds of fish.
While both spin fishing and fly fishing can be a lot of fun, fly fishing will get you more up-close and personal with nature. It’s a bit more difficult to learn, but, once you do, you’ll find that it’s one of the most rewarding sports out there.
The Evolution of the Canopy – Why spend time on assembly when you can spend it enjoying your day?
At ShelterLogic our goal was to cut down on the assembly time of our canopies. That's why we've developed the AccelaFrame Canopy: a revolutionary canopy with faster and easier assembly. Check out our video to see just how easy it is to assemble an AccelaFrame Canopy.
