As we step up our homesteading game, heading to the farmer’s market with our produce has become a big goal. I want to do more than just offload extra zucchini, though. I’ve been on Pinterest, and brainstorming ideas to stand out a bit at our local farmer’s market. Here are some of my ideas.

Get an early start on planting

My husband is much better at managing seedlings than I am, so this is his department. He planted our seeds in trays way back at the end of February. This will give us an excellent head start on plants like tomatoes, peppers, broccoli, brussel sprouts, and cabbage. Some vegetables could use a little head start, but didn’t need to be started by March 1st. He just planted some watermelon, for example. Vegetables like corn and beans can be planted right in the garden and do fabulously. He also tilled our garden when we had a warm day in March.

Make salsa kits

I saw ideas for making kits with your veggies on Pinterest. I make a lot of salsa, so I think this one will be really fun. I’m picturing paper lunch bags rolled down a little to make them like baskets. I’ll fill them with about 8 roma tomatoes, an onion, a bell pepper, and a couple hot peppers. I often lactoferment salsa a quart at a time, so this could be a great opportunity to educate shoppers on the benefits of fermented foods!

Hand out recipe cards to compliment our veggies

I love the idea of helping shoppers to think creatively about what they can do with the veggies they buy. My mother-in-law has a wonderful recipe for zucchini bread, which she graciously agreed to share. Pair that with pre-shredded zucchini and I think we will have a win! Keep an eye out for this recipe to be shared soon, once my daughter bakes some more and we can take some pics.

Sell reusable produce bags

I love taking my crocheted reusable produce bags to the store instead of using the flimsy plastic ones. I hope local shoppers will also love the idea of taking their farm fresh produce home in sturdy crocheted bags as well. If you aren’t going to be at my farmer’s market, you can buy the same produce bags right here.

Product Details

As I was sitting in my sukkah, reading Scripture, I thought it would be nice to have some sort of journal that would help me to think through the passage more, and apply it to my life. I had printed some Bible study guides off the internet, but they just weren't working for me. They were usually too vague. I love copying Scripture, but I also wanted to specifically apply the passage to myself. So, after jotting down some ideas and notes in my sukkah, I came up with this journal. I love how it helps me to slow down and think through the passage. I know the value of using more of my brain to write the verses as well as read them. I also like that the prompts cause me to look at myself honestly and compare my character to Scripture. Most importantly, anytime I spend time in Scripture, I should walk away with a better understanding of who my God is. 

Here are the different sections you'll find in each two-page spread.

Space to write the reference for the passage you are reading
Lots of space to copy all or part of the passage
A box for jotting down cross references or similar passages, to be studied later
A place to list positive and negative commands
A place for examples from Bible characters
Room to write specific changes I need to make in my life
At the end, I am prompted to learn more and write about YHVH's character, and look for references to Yeshua.

This Bible study journal is spiral bound with 10 mil laminated covers. It is over 180 pages, giving you enough room to use it daily for three months. The graphics are a beautiful tropical plant theme. The journal pages measure 7 x 9.5 inches, plus the spiral binding, a great size to use with your Bible. Includes a clear plastic clip-in bookmark.

Get ready to learn more from your time in the Bible! Don't forget to compare yourself to the passages you read, and always learn more about YHVH's character! Not sure what to study? Look for printable Scripture writing challenges on Pinterest. Each printable has about thirty passages, grouped by a theme or season. Several bloggers make these available each month.

Have you ever sold produce at a farmer’s market? Do you enjoy shopping at markets? I love how markets help us to stay close to the land that Yah has blessed us with and share our bounty and experience with others.
