How to package baked goods to sell at farmer's market

 A follower asked 

 I want to sell my baked goods at the local farmers market. How would you suggest I package them?

Get some a large plastic clamshell  containers

You can get cute containers and put a pretty label on them. Even some twine/ribbon if you really want to be fancy! Nothing too crazy because hopefully you'll be making lots more! Just be sure to label everything properly and you're good to go!

You won't make any money if you go over the top, just keep telling yourself that. You're trying to make money. You can go over the top when you're making enough sales to raise the bar, you know what I mean? Be sure to figure in ALL you costs when you set your prices. I've wasted so much money with projects like this, so I'm kind of passionate about it,

We sell homemade marshmallows and cotton candy at our local market. 100% check your cottage laws first. We have rules about what is required for labels. We put a lot of thought into our packaging. It's a little more than what some others use for marshmallows but we get at least 4-5 comments on our packaging at each event/market. People buy extra to give as gifts. We have people think we have an actual storefront because they say it's so professional. It's worth it to us to spend a little more. I would check your local market and see what others are doing and if it won't eat too much into your profit then make it better. We use bakery boxes for our marshmallow brownies instead of plastic and they look so much better my opinion.
