Bzeeeee ,

Great show!

Absolutely love this farmers market and entrepreneurship podcast! From tales of local growers and the behind the scenes of what it takes to operate and be a vendor at markets to insightful conversations on entrepreneurship, it beautifully captures the essence of both worlds. Sarah brings authenticity and passion, making each episode a delightful blend of education and inspiration.

Just what I needed

I have been following Sarah’s podcast for several months now, really enjoying her passion for elevating small businesses by facilitating opportunities via local markets. As a fellow entrepreneur, it has been great to listen to relatable topics from other like minded entrepreneurs. I also had the honor to be invited to be featured on the podcast and had the easiest experience while recording, having an opportunity to talk about how I support holistic wellness business with marketing support and got into really juicy metaphysical topics! Sarah is great!
