sustainability visit (for real this time)

So it tunes out that "Henry's Farmers Market" isn't an actual Farmer's Market. lol. It's funny how in the last blog I mentioned how the "farmer's market" i went to wasn't much different compared to other grocery stores, since it is just another grocery store. Today when Lulu and I went to an actual farmers market I really noticed the difference. The food there actually seemed organic. There were people selling herbs and all sorts of plants that they grow themselves. Also, most things were more expensive except the products that came in abundance. It was an amazing experience :D

To me it seemed like this store was just like any other grocery store I'd been too. It was pretty much what I expected because I was pretty sure it would be just like a Trader Joe's store, and it kind of was. I don't think I will start going to organic stores more often because that's not really my choice, it's my parents and I think they're pretty comfortable with the store they go to now, but this has motivated me to plant my own herbs and edible plants. Well I think that one of the main reasons why we did this project was to inform us on living sustainably, and by going and interviewing people who are doing so, we know what we can do to live more sustainably.
