Market veteran says Tom's Market can sell about 10,000 ears of corn on a busy Saturday
Summary
A person introduced at a Bartlett opening-day event said Tom's Market can sell roughly 10,000 ears of corn on a busy August Saturday and highlighted family involvement—two grandchildren were helping at the stand during the opening.
At Bartlett's opening-day event for Tom's Market, a person introduced as Tom offered a sales figure for the market's peak season: "On any given busy Saturday in August between the white and bi color cords, it's like like 10,000 ears in 1 day," the speaker said.
Speakers also stressed the market's multigenerational character: the market has been at its Route 20 location for 65 years, and the speaker noted two grandchildren, Hunter and Gracie, were helping that day. Another presenter recounted the market's origin story, saying the business began with selling sweet corn from the back of a pickup truck, a detail offered to emphasize its deep local roots.
