Welcome to Vendor Success

Estimated Reading Time: 4 minutes

Hi! I’m Curbie Goodroot.

Welcome to the Greensboro Farmers Curb Market Vendor Success Academy!

Whether you’re preparing for your very first market or you’ve been selling here for years, I’m here to help you make the most of your Vendor Portal and share practical ideas that can help your business grow.

The Vendor Portal is more than a place to submit information. It’s your connection to Market Operations, your customers, and the resources available to help you succeed.

We’ll take it one step at a time.

Why This Matters

Every successful market depends on communication.

The Vendor Portal helps you stay informed, share information with Market Operations, and connect with customers before they arrive at the market.

As you work through the Academy, you’ll discover how each feature is designed to make participating in the market easier, more organized, and more rewarding.

Whether you’re updating your business profile, submitting your Weekly Offerings, requesting assistance, or finding important announcements, everything begins here.

Curbie’s Business Insight

The Vendor Portal isn’t another task to complete. Think of it as your market headquarters.

The more comfortable you become using it, the easier it becomes to stay informed, communicate with Market Operations, and help customers discover your business.

A few minutes invested today can save time throughout the season.
