Day Three 7/23 (Afternoon)

Today was all about business! Green of Green was our motto. This morning we saw a Power Point, which contained business facts - tips to start a business. Who, what, when, where and why to start a business - for example, if you were selling food on the side of a road that isn't busy, you wouldn't earn as much money as if you were working in the city of Philadelphia. We also learned about supply and demand - you have to order enough products that you think will support all of the orders of your customers. We also learned that listening and observing are important to find out how much to order and what products to order and what people will like.

We also played games to help us get to know one another better. We learned that more people like the Eagles than the Steelers, which is not fair!

This afternoon we took a trip to Anselma Mill farmers market to learn more about the business of farms. We learned to make a stand colorful to attract attention, to sell a variety of things, charge a fair price, put out samples to make people more interested in your product - sometimes you need to hand out free samples to show your appreciation of your customer, so that they'll stay loyal to you. We handed out some samples of our chocolate zucchini cake - people thought it tasted more like cake than brownies so we decided to change the name a little. People said the cake was really good and they told us how much it was worth to them - some people said $1, some said $3, some said $2, so we decided it might be good to sell a bigger brownie for $2.25. We liked how friendly everyone was to us, and we loved Hobo Ed's strawberry smoothie. Everyone should try a cup of his product! I guarantee you will absolutely love it.
