The place to be in Anna on Tuesday mornings is the @anna farmers market! There are lots of beautiful fresh fruits and veggies, including watermelon, brussel sprouts, zucchini, corn on the cob, tomatoes and more as well as beautiful fresh flower arrangements!
The UCCEO team participated in a scavenger hunt that required them to learn about the vendors and their customers. Topics/skills
that were covered include:
🍉Introductions/Handshakes
🌽Price comparisons
🍅Marketing/Branding
🧅Return on Investment
🫑Community Connections
💐History of the Vendors
In addition, we discussed the importance of shopping local, supporting farmers and the agriculture business, and promoting those opportunities! Entrepreneurial ventures are not “one size fits all”. There are brick and mortar businesses, mobile businesses, online or virtual businesses and they can offer many different products or services! These market vendors are all entrepreneurs and we had a great time meeting them and learning about their businesses!
