In this tell-all episode, Sarah Dylan Jensen shares the highs, lows, and oh no she didn’t moments of the Lake Stevens Farmers Market that had it all — drama, heart, community, and a few mic-drop exits. It’s funny, it’s honest, and it’s everything you didn’t know you needed to hear about what goes into making a market begin and end.

So grab your coffee (or tea… you’ll need it) and get ready — this is The Life of a Market Maven.

Markets, Mayhem, and Moving Forward 🎙️

It’s been a whirlwind few months — from funding cuts to political shakeups and even saying goodbye to the Lake Stevens Market. In this new episode of The Market Maven, I’m sharing what’s really been happening behind the scenes… and where we go from here. 🌱

In this short solo episode, I’m pulling back the curtain a bit to talk about the work that happens behind the scenes at farmers markets — the kind of work most people never see, but that keeps everything running.

I share a recent conversation with someone from the UK who reached out for guidance as she begins her own market journey, and I open up about the tough decision to step away from the Lake Stevens Farmers Market after years of asking for help that never really came.

This episode is honest, a little raw, and a reminder that even the magic takes muscle. If you’ve ever been the one holding it all together, I hope this speaks to you.
