Last Farmers Market Kidz Biz Day this week

The Farmers Market will be holding its last Kidz Biz of the 2019 season this Thursday! For $1 each, anyone under the age of 18 can have a space at the market on a Kidz Biz day to sell their products. 

What can kids sell? Some things are not allowed, including prepared food items – for example: no cookies, cake, bread, candy, cut up fruits or vegetables, lemonade, or other beverages. Kids are allowed to sell crafts, pictures, wood items (e.g., birdhouse), homemade play dough, silly putty, fruits and vegetables (not cut up) that you’ve grown in your garden, flower bouquets, etc. The Farmers Market suggests most items cost $5 or less as most shoppers bring $20 or less to the market, so items costing more than $5 are less likely to sell.

Sign your kid up for Kidz Biz by emailing market manager Laura Wohlgemuth at farmersmarket48158@gmail.com for the form or call her at 586-703-4549.

For as little as $1 a month, you can keep Manchester-focused news coverage alive.
