- Last Saturday was the Tilth Harvest Fair, my favorite event of the year. It was our 10th year vending there and I was struck--yet again--by what a perfect fit it is for my business. The customers are passionate about vegetables and delightfully down to earth (so to speak.)
Last year we set a company record for highest sales ever on a single day. We ran out of product and were working to capacity almost the entire time. This year we broke last year's record by about 2%, but we had leftover food at the end of the day, and we could have served more food during the time we had, but for some reason we couldn't seem to take orders fast enough. (We had a long line in front all day, and food ready and waiting around the side.)
It was strange to have our most successful day ever, and still feel a bit disappointed. On the bright side, it was also an indication of just how much we've learned and grown during the intervening year.
