Our family’s vegetables were pesticide–free, perfect for what these parents were looking for–green, organic produce.
I quickly snapped a picture of our greenhouse vegetable garden and sent it to the parent. I mentioned that I was helping out at home and that all these vegetables were homegrown.
The parent sent back three exclamation marks and immediately video–called me.
After confirming that I wasn’t lying, she excitedly said she wanted to place an order and asked if I could deliver it to her door. Afraid I might feel it was too small an order, she even called over ten more parents.

She said she had been watching us set up our stall for the past few days and asked if I would be interested in supplying her store.
I was surprised–her shop catered to a high–end clientele. I hadn’t expected her to be interested in our produce.
“Your vegetables have become quite popular in the neighborhood lately. A lot of people are asking where to buy them. I’ve been in business for years, and I have a good eye for quality. Your produce is fresh, and the quality is great. You won’t have trouble selling it.”
