Green Market

For our study of food in the class of 712 and 612 we went to a farmers market. We meet a man named David who was our guild. It was a day off and he came to teach us about the foods and the purpose for the green market. The green market is a market where farmers sell fresh produce for the people to eat healthy and for them to make money but not as a profit. David our tour guide told us about the seasonal foods. He even told us about where the produce is grown and how the farmers come from a 250 mile distance. During the tour guide David talked about produce and if it was a veggie or a fruit. We also got a chance to go around the market and buy some produce but most people went to buy food from a stand. The food they sell at the farmers market is non preserved food.
