First Farm Auction!

A farm auction!!!!

So what is this and what is happening???

David went down to southern MD this morning to watch a farm auction and its inner workings today.  We want to get a feel of what we are to do when it come time to start selling at our stand and how to bid on produce. This here how we will be getting our produce to sell at our farm stand. Although we have land, and a small garden - we would not be able to keep up with the demand of produce. So what you do is go to a farm auction- bid on produce- bring it home and sell it for comparable prices.  Prices will vary for both bidding and selling depending on what is in season. This is how MOST roadside farm stand like ours work.  The farm that we are getting produce from is Amish run and this is part of how they make their living, by selling to small time farmers like ourselves.
