There is an organic farmer who has set up a tent at Finnegan's, the local Farmer's Market/Antiques market where we have been selling our hot sauces. At the first couple of markets, the reason they were selling, is because the fruits and vegetables were so fresh, since then, most of what they sell is because the quality is fantastic, so the customers come back week after week to see what is in season.

If you decide to do something like this with outlet bought veggies (I imagine that the outlet you describe is the city vegetable exchange?) you might want to mix them up so that you don't always have the same veggies, that way people will come to see what you have that's new and interesting this week.

I would provide pamphlets with ideas for unique and interesting fruits and vegetables... for example, if the Kumquaats looked good, I'd have a couple of kumquaat recipes available... You get the idea?

-- Just my thoughts. I hope they help.
