I am thinking of starting to sell my homemade baked goods at the local Farmers Market in my small town. Everyone always enjoys my baked goods and I often get requests from friends and family. I have a 7 month old baby, so I thought this might be a good way to make some extra money from home, doing something I enjoy.
I know that I will make banana bread, but I am not sure what else might go over good. The only thing I am not so hot at making is pies, other than that, I can make it well. I also am thinking to go with organic ingredients, they seem to be gaining in popularity. I would really apreciate any advice, tips, and maybe some words from someone who has experience in this field. Thank you.

get a website - http://www.pgwebdesigns.net
print up some business cards/flyers http://www.vistaprint.com
go to your local restaurant and ask if you can leave a sample of your baked goods and see how they sell.
go to sandwich shops who also put out baked goods at the register.
tell a friend to tell a friend.
market as much as you can even if it means printing flyers on your home computer.
go to a local school and see if you can provide cakes for the school bake sale.
people love organic stuff, if you bake with organic, don't forget to say so. also try some sugar free products for an older audience.
