take into consideration that you are part of your display. We aim for a
clean, attractive look at Las Vegas Farmers' Markets®. Awnings or

bringing a box of trash bags or roll of flexible plastic in case of rain
to cover you merchandise if necessary. It's best to be prepared.

must be identified with signs as follows:
Self-grown, organic, supplemental
Conventional - is on your own farm or in your garden

form a neighboring farm, bought from other farmers, or picked by you
from another farm. It may not be purchased from a store, produce house,
etc.

sign with your farm name is great, and customers know whom to look for
when they come back. A Banner or sign for the street with logo and
