Hi Everyone

I'm new to this group and am in the process of starting up a truffle business. Once I find a rental kitchen, I can register my business and create a website. So I still have some work to do before officially getting started. I finally found a kitchen space to rent, but it's a monthly commitment versus paying an hourly fee. So I'm trying to figure out if I can swing the monthly cost in the beginning.

I wanted to get some thoughts on farmers markets. Selling product at a local farmers market seems like an excellent way to advertise and sell to the local community, but I'm not sure about how easy it would be to display the product. Has anyone tried to sell truffles outdoors? If so, how did you deal with warm weather that could potentially melt the product? I thought about getting a display case that I could keep cool with a generator, but that seems like more of a hassle than it's worth.
