This one was a long time coming and worth the wait! Whether you're a fan of farmers markets or a fan of seeing people "do it scared", this episode is for you. I loved this chat with Sarah. She shares the path one step in front of the other has taken her on and how she has surprised even herself in the process. As she says in episode, "It's better to start somewhere than go nowhere." Mic drop!
Sarah studied Fashion Design at the Fashion Institute for Design & Merchandising in Southern California. She immediately jumped into the design industry at Eddie Bauer followed by Tommy Bahama, Zumiez, Kische and Brooks Sports. After 10+ years in the industry, she decided it was time to move towards smaller, more localized focus.
Sarah created her original business, Mockingjay Press, with the dream of bringing desire back to small-town shopping. In this social media business, she helps bring awareness and insight to supporting small, local shops & businesses. Through curated connections in the community, she became the Snohomish Farmers Market Manager in 2015. As market manager, Sarah curates an engaging vendor mix working with local artisans, creators and farmers. Sarah handles the social media & graphic advertising for her (now 3) farmers markets, along with her growing client list in & around the greater Snohomish area.
Sarah is transitioning into world domination by way of Farmers Markets now as she steps into a more over-arching role and is excited to launch Market Maven this year. I'm here for it!
Oh, and Snohomish Farmers Market opens May 4th as this episode airs. Head on over between 3 and 7pm!
