Reflections on the Farmer's Market
Reflections on the Farmer's
Market
Phoebe has asked us to reflect upon our
experience in the Farmer's Market. I have been to a Farmer's Market before, so
I think that qualitatively, the most significant thing about this experience was
that contextual speech that began the experience. Knowing that the fruits and
vegetables that were offered were certified was important to the
experience. Understanding that California's high standards for agriculture are
a vulnerability to the local industry is important. We choose how we spend our
fortune, and it is clear that cheapest, easiest, fastest, most convenient, are
simplistic ideals. One really does get what you pay for.
