For The Farmers Market Shoppers

cotton tote and non woven tote bagBringing your own bags to the market? We applaud your eco-sense! Durability and comfort are two characteristics that the ideal shopping bag must have, according to shoppers. Making sure your bag is comfortable to carry and durable enough to hold your fresh market purchases is important. Start looking for bags with robust, natural materials like cotton or non-woven totes with thick, wide handles. These reusable bag types are helping reduce the use of single-use packaging, and they’re washable! Whether you are bringing home just a few tomatoes, or a whole watermelon, you are preparing to make it an easy trip with a strong reusable bag.

For toting picks like artisanal cheeses, dips, spreads, eggs, fresh pasta, and frozen treats, flexible thermal insulated bags work well. For items like fresh pressed juice, wine, or olive oil, a multi bottle non-woven wine tote is ideal for keeping glass bottles safe. Even better, a versatile wine tote with flexible compartments accommodates a variety of bottle sizes.

For the Farmers at the Market

Ensure that your products present beautifully by utilizing attractive (and useful!) bags and boxes. Take into account how you want your customers to get your products packaged and how to get them home safely. Not everyone remembers to bring their reusable bags to the market. It is therefore a good idea to have some options available which leave a positive lasting impression on customers.

Another bio-degradable packaging option that is a great choice for prepared food items is kraft gable boxes. These boxes store flat for easy transport to the farmers market. They fold up in seconds, and sport a nice handle on top for easy carrying. These boxes are a good option if your merchandise needs a little more support or a rigid structure for safe transporting. Additionally, they also excel in lending your goods a delightful “unboxing” experience when the customer gets them home.

Juice bottles at a farmers marketFarmers market sellers of bottled goods can benefit from stocking non-woven wine bottle totes. Whether you’re actually selling wines, offering packages of fresh pressed juices, specialty bottles of cooking oils, or even selling handmade candles in glass jars. These totes allow your bottles to be comfortably carried around the market and protect the goods all the way home.

Kraft Paper Shoppers GroupPerhaps the most popular and versatile packaging for any vendor at a farmers market is the recycled paper handled shopping bag. These bags are very low-cost. They come in a variety of great colors and sizes, and work for so many types of items. They make great gifting bags if you’re selling items intended for giving. This type of bag is easily dressed up with recycled tissue paper. They’re a great green choice.

For the Farmers Market Managers

Promoting sustainability in your area can be as simple as selecting an attractive natural cotton tote to offer at your next farmers market. These bags give your effort an immediate conscientious at-a-glance look while backing that up with natural materials that can be used again and again.
