If there is one thing that was extremely helpful when I started researching what goes into markets, it was the advice from fellow microbakers who had gone before me. I am an avid research and I was very methodical about my approach. I was posting polls on my story and taking feedback for weeks before I created a list of all things I needed to buy and do to start going to markets. This video is all about my first market, what went into it, what I bought, how much it cost, the prep for the market, my dos and don't and ultimately how it went!

The things on my purchase list are linked on my Amazon page under "Market Setup" - https://amzn.to/47l10WC
