152. Farmer's Markets: Test & Scale Your CPG Brand With Sari Kimbell, Food Business Success

152. Most CPG brands waste thousands launching into retail before they validate real demand. That mistake can bankrupt you before you ever scale. In this episode, we break down why farmer's markets are the smartest, lowest-risk way to test your product, refine your pricing, validate your messaging, and build raving fans before chasing wholesale distribution. You'll learn how to use live customer feedback as a paid focus group, how to strengthen your selling story, and how to turn grassroots support into retail leverage. This is how you build a healthy foundation instead of guessing your way onto shelves.  Listen to related episodes to go deeper into retail execution and sustainable CPG growth.
