Took a van load of our products to the Farmers’ Market at Queen’s University in Kingston. This once a month market was requested by some students last fall and has been pretty successful. We were invited to set up a booth for the January event and did ok.
The 2 things I learned in January were: make sure people know that we can take Mastercard and VISA; and there quite a few young people knitting. So this time I put up the charge card signage and brought lots of yarn. Sold 42 skeins of yarn and made 3 credit card sales. All the natural – white, brown, light grey and dark grey – were bought. Three young women, representing a group called “No Sweat” as in no more sweat shops, bought the last of the natural yarn. They intend to learn some knitting skills for empathic reasons, I think.
It was nice change from sitting on a tractor and rolling out hay. Don got to do all the chores so he had a busy morning.
