Ithaca Farmer's Market

We recently traveled to the Ithaca Farmer's Market. It was not what I expected. I expected it to be less put together. Farmer's markets that I have been to have just been in a field where people have their own tents and tables set up. Instead this was under a big pavilion with premade stands. They had a lot of vender's but I expected it to be more spread out. However, I did not expect there to be so much ethnic food. They had Mexican, Chinese, and Indian food being made and sold. You smelt many wonderful aromas while walking past all the booths.

There were the booths that I expected to see there such as people selling flowers, homemade cheese, and organic vegetables. Also there was homemade jewelry, quilts, paintings and wood work. We got the opportunity to stop and talk to some of the proprieties.

Sarah stopped and bought an item from Culinary Kiosk. They are a new business in Pine City, New York. They products that they grow are all organic. They keep their products local to help others in the community. Some other eco-friendly things they do is composting and using recycled packaging material.

Most of the booths there were all very eco-friendly. You could tell based on packaging and the things they had in the back of their cars that they all worked very hard on their products. They were eager to talk about the different ways that they were using sustainability in their business. The place where the farmer's market was had signs all over the place about recycling.

I think my favorite part though was a young boy showed up and started playing his violin. He was really good and it was nice to listen to him.
