I have been given an opportunity to share a booth, but everything I make is chocolate and would melt in the heat, plus people seem to want fresh produce. I was thinking about making pdf's with in season fruits and herbs. Anyone have experience selling them at farmers markets?

I was talking to Sarah Hart, who sells her Alma chocolates at the Portland OR farmers market about this very thing. Give her a call: from our conversation, I can say she's both very friendly and does one hell of a business there.

I can attest to that, seen her booth lined up with lots of people at the Market. I don't see why you can't see chocolates at the market. A lot of people may want produce but there are also meat and fish mongers that make a killing at the PDX Market anyways.

I haven't had a lot of luck convincing people to pay a decent price for pates de fruit. I think a lot of them feel it's just candy and aren't willing to pay.

I suppose with a decent amount of sampling they might be brought around.
