My favorite thing in the entire world is hanging out with my cool best friend, who also happens to be my soulmate.
My second favorite thing is the fact that he will do anything that is silly, ridiculous, or questionable, if I ask nicely and believe it has good purpose.
My third favorite thing - Using that content to then spread good news. For our upcoming Artisan Market at BalsamFest, we are incredibly happy to introduce a new, reduced vendor fee structure. We want our market to be a vibrant, accessible space for the region’s creators and curators, and it is more important to us to share this space and give individuals an outlet to sell their goods, than to simply match common industry pricing.
Every business owner around us has said the same thing; You’ll have 100 ideas, one will land, and you’ll be learning lessons on how you actually want to run things from the beginning to the end. The point of our farm, and every event that we have ever hosted, or will ever host, is to literally just make people feel joy. That’s it. We want to make people feel so darn happy to be here, and we sincerely hope that is what we are accomplishing.
Vendor booths now start at $35 for one day, or $50 for both days. We are looking for all of your creations to cover the field, while our other family activities take place simultaneously along our storefront, food trucks, and reindeer-like activities. I remember being a vendor for the very first time, or even for the fifth time - Remembering that it is nerve-racking, and you have no way of knowing how you will do. We hope this gives you an opportunity to get your foot in the door, keep your foot in the door, meet some new friends and followers, or just have a great Christmas-in-July day of sales!
