The market

Hey all,
I went on my first market adventure yesterday and interviewed some farmers selling their produce there. All the farmers I interviewed were so different in age, history, farms etc. It was exciting to finally be doing some field work. Interestingly, when I first began the interview the farmers were kind of reserved, but as the conversation progressed they opened up and told me so many random facts about their history's and lives. One of the ladies talked about how she started working on the farm because she was helping her pregnant daughter who had just begun working on the farm. I don't really know what I am hoping to find from listening to these farmers. Maybe just a better understanding of farmers in the valley and how they impact my life. Who knows, but I'm excited to hear more stories.
My summer reading is kind of boring, lots of books on soil. Just finished one on mushrooms and how they are going to save the world.
I love hearing about what everyone is doing.
Puppies, rainbows and sunshine,
Katy
