Higganum Farmers Market: “Kids Become Vendors Day” July 8

By Sharon Challenger.

(July 6, 2022) This Friday is “Kids Become Vendors Day!”   Each year the market sets aside a day for  the children in our community to gain some experience in running a small business.  It is a great opportunity for children to learn valuable skills and develop self-confidence.

One of the young vendors, Lillian will have succulents, jewelry, and art at her table.  Her mother explained, “This is her third year as a “kid vendor” at the Higganum Farmers Market. Lillian and I have a small mother-daughter business called With Love, Sarah and Lilly. We up-cycle things like the teacups the succulents are in, and we find old jewelry to make the jewelry with.”

They have a Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/SarahandLilly where you can learn more about their business.
