Farmer's Market Review
Farmers markets
started more than 5,000 years ago in Egypt where farmers along the Nile came
together to sell their fresh produce. In the United States the first farmers market in the United States opened in 1634 in Boston, Massachusetts.
The purpose of this event is to provide local healthy fresh food to the local
consumers at an average cost. Besides the retail sales, farmers markets also help
local farmers to make farming profitable. The field trip to the farmers market
that was recently held at the Richard Daily center located in the downtown
Chicago area saw a huge participation of local farmers as well as local
consumers. The market was clean, stands well disposed and a broad range of food
were exposed. I was more attracted by artisan bread produced by Nick from
Pilsen. His family has been running a artisan
bakery for more than 25 years. Nick informed me that many customers visited his
stand, and the market only opens on Thursday 7 am - 2 pm. Afterwards, I
interviewed a beautiful, white and tall lady named Tracy who was visiting the market for her first time.
She is from Memphis and she really liked being at the market. She was
interesting in buying many kind of sweets. I enjoyed the market and promised to
also bring my children there.
