​As an urban farmer, you may be curious about the specifics behind hosting an on-site farm stand. Whether it's learning how to price your products or understanding the rules and regulations for hosting a stand on your farm site, this workshop will explore the fundamentals.

​With Avenue 33 farms, we will dive into the specifics of running a farm stand. This session will go over pricing farm products, including how production costs, scale, customer demographics, product differentiation, and personal business values can influence pricing decisions. Participants will have the opportunity to review real pricing examples and reflect on whether current crop choices and market prices are financially sustainable. We will also touch on broader farm stand maintenance and best practices to ensure your stand meets standards. With direct guidance and examples from the Avenue 33 Farm stand team, we will review best practices to ensure the farm stand remains in compliance with regulations.

​Following the workshop, there will be an optional farm tour and an Urban Agriculture Working Group session at Avenue 33 Farm.
