Garden Anywhere Box had a booth at the Oklahoma State Fair this year. We were located in the Oklahoma Expo Building along with other Made in Oklahoma items. Here's a picture of us and some of the other businesses around us. We were lucky to belocated down from Head Country BBQ and across from Okarche Cinnamon Rolls. Not a bad place to be. :)
The fair lasted 10 days. Larry, Lane, Caroline, Laura and I took turns manning the booth.
We worked long, but fun days. We got to talk to so many nice people. One of the best things about our business is talking to people about actually being successful at gardening. We see their faces light up when they realize that they, too, can actually grow vegetables. It is so worth the long hours each day.
Because our boxes are portable, we were able to move one of our big jalapeno pepper plants to the fair to show that the boxes actually do work...lol. This started out as a small six pack of peppers from Lowe's. It grew about 5 ft tall and was covered with peppers.
Every day, before we would leave for the fair, I'd go out and do a daily garden harvest to bring with us. Some people could not believe that we actually grew all of the veggies let alone picked them every morning to bring. Someone asked Lane if he went to Walmart to buy the veggies and bring to the fair. Lane said, "No. I didn't have to."
