What I sell and charge at my farm stand: spring 2025 edition

I officially reopened my farm stand on April 1st for the 2025 season. Here is what I am currently selling, charging, and how much we made on our opening day, without any produce or flowers yet.

I officially reopened my farm stand this week, despite the 35 degree temperatures outside, for the 2025 season. With no flowers, produce, or herbs currently growing at the farm, as we are far out from our last frost still, I had to get creative with my offerings to bring a fully stocked serving tray to my community.

That’s why you will find everything from free native seeds to an ‘art corner’ that hosts all of my mom’s original artwork, coasters, and cards at the stand currently, as well as plenty of products dedicated to pollinator preservation.

I am constantly changing what I offer at the farm stand, based on seasons and also consumer preference, which is why you may enjoy this read from November 2024 when I itemized my offerings for the fall season.

Fall was by far our best sales season at the stand, though I didn’t own a farm stand until July 1st, 2024… so who’s to say the spring can’t be just as lucrative? A farm stand can be exactly what you make it, and with most rural American towns including a ‘right to farm clause’ in their charters, the government can not stop you from taking your wares directly to the public in your stand (though, if you are baking or prepping food, you may need a food processing license - I would check with your state on this).

For me, the farm stand serves a lot of purposes, with one of the most important being bringing pollinator awareness to my community by encouraging them to plant native plants, host plants to butterflies, and a wide variety of blooms that span from April until November.

And with that, here’s what we are selling AND charging at my Schuylerville, NY pollinator farm.
