Assignment

Visit to a Local Farmers’ Market

Please visit a local farmers market in or near your community. Try stopping at a few vendors, see what they are selling and how it is different from what is available at a regular grocery store. Also notice if the price of what they are selling is different from what grocery stores charge in general.

Please write a 1.5 to 2 page report on some of your key observations made during the Farmers Market visit. Tell me about some key observations you made about prices, the way those products were produced, if you think the products sold there were of better quality (or maybe not) than products sold at grocery stores. I would also like to know if you would like to provide any feedback/tips/suggestions to the vendors or the organizers of the Market to so that they can make some improvements to improve the overall experience of future buyers.

This report should be a minimum of 1.5 pages long - regular margins, size 12 Times New Roman font, double line-spacing.
