Things to think about as you begin…...

• Community assets - who can you partner with?
• Volunteers- who can you rely on?
• Student needs- what do you want your students to

learn or be able to do?

• District support- keep them posted and PR like crazy!
• Rules- learn, live, love your farmers market rules

(laminate this and share with students often)

• Appearance- is your table inviting? Students

professional?

• Product- do you have variety?
• Committees? They rock! Accountability & Ownership

( Culinary, Agriculture, Food Preservation, Post Consumer Waste Production)
