Thanks for this! Being new to sourdough, I can use all the help I can get, and I have a lot of questions!

One big piece of your lineup will also depend on what other bakers are selling around you. Our Saturday market is fairly small, but some weeks we can have 3-4 vendors selling bread. If all of them are selling the same basic sourdough, now you have competitors for the same product. However, if no one else has the same product, now you've differentiated yourself by offering something you can't get elsewhere. We have changed up our lineup and I think we've found a good product base, with most of the decisions based on FOTM. We dropped the croissants because of the massive time suck, so we might sell those as a weekly special if time allows. We haven't sold bread yet, but we had 1 bread baker on Saturday. She was right next to us, and I watched her bread flying off the table while we experienced our lowest week because we were competing with 4 other sweets vendors. Here's our current lineup: Jar Cakes: cute little jars and push pops available in 3-4 flavors each week, with some flavors rotating weekly. We've already started planning flavors for fall/winter. Macarons: this is Heather's favorite to make, so we wanted to incorporate her love. Available in 2 pk or 6 pk. Fudge: We have and Old Fashioned PB Fudge recipe that is a proven seller. It is an item people come back to buy, so it's permanent on the list. We try to have a least one other flavor available, but haven't found a second winner yet. Next to try is Milk Chocolate Cherry Nut. Cookie Dippers: Saturday was our first day selling this. It's a pack of mini sugar cookies with 2 dips: frosting and caramel. One of the vendors raved over the salted caramel and said she'd love some to dip apples in. We plan to jar some to sell. And next week, we hope to add a chocolate chip cookie with the caramel and chocolate ganache. So these are the 4 winners for us for now. I'm in charge of doing bread, so I plan to start with Focaccia and have about 4 different varieties in mind to try. I've never seen anyone around here sell focaccia, so it will be my unique bread opener. In a few weeks, I hope to add a second type of bread, maybe challah, as I haven't seen it sold around here either. Time will tell on that one.

Thanks for the info. I had heard something about this but hadn't had time to look into it yet, so you saved me some time. So glad to have this group!

I got a bit stalled by life and so many things happening, so I am stalled in Module 5 where the real work of building the website is happening. My biggest obstacle at the moment is knowing I need to take pictures that will go on the website, and I am a bit overwhelmed with all the options of deciding what pictures to set up and use. After tomorrow's market, I plan to spend some time working through the module and just start taking pictures so I at least have SOMETHING there. Praying that life will cooperate with me just a little.

@Henry Hunter I'll need to double check with Heather once she gets up, but I'm sure she'll be fine with it, so send over the permission form and we'll fill it out together. I do not mind at all giving my endorsement, so if you'd like a specific endorsement for something, let me know and I'll write one up for you. I believe everyone at Crust & Crumb would agree that you have made a huge impact in our bread world, and now you've stepped it up and are making another huge impact in our businesses. We cannot thank you enough for everything you do for us every day. Please know how much you are appreciated and loved.
