Our yogurt vendor, Bonjour!, has been with KTS Farmers Market since we opened.
With Traditional yogurt. Sheep’s milk yogurt. Coconut-based vegan options. Hummus. Pita chips. And judging by the customers you see at their table, some of y’all already know. 😂
But there’s something behind this video that most customers would never know.
They’re traveling about THREE HOURS ONE WAY to get to Ridgecrest.
Think about what their market day actually looks like.
Three hours driving to Ridgecrest.
That’s fuel. That’s time.
About an hour to unload and set up.
Four hours selling at KTS.
Break everything back down.
Load back up.
Then another three-hour drive back home through LA traffic.
That can easily turn a four-hour farmers market into an 11+ hour day.
And that’s before we even talk about the cost of making the products, paying someone to work, fuel, market fees, and everything else it takes to operate a small business.
As both a market manager and a vendor, I understand this side personally. I also travel for markets and events, sometimes as far as 250 miles.
And I’ve learned something:
Distance isn’t the deal breaker. Sales are.
If the sales make the trip worthwhile, vendors will travel.
If they don’t, eventually it doesn’t make business sense to come back.
That’s what we want our community to understand when you ask us to bring more variety to the KTS farmers market.
Our job is to get those vendors here.
Keeping them here takes all of us.
Every customer you see standing at this table matters.
This Saturday, our yogurt vendor is back at KTS.
🥛 Traditional yogurt
🐑 Sheep’s milk yogurt
🥥 Coconut-based vegan options
🫓 Hummus + pita chips
If you already have a favorite, come stock up.
If you’ve never tried them, see what they have.
Because growing a farmers market isn’t just about how many vendors we can get to Ridgecrest.
It’s about building a market where good quality vendors can afford to keep coming back.
