Our Trip to the Farmer's Market

Hello families!

On Monday we went to the Union Square Farmer's Market. We went there for real, not pretend like we do in drama.


At the farmer's market we had clip boards. We had to find these things: fruit, vegetables, baked goods, meat, dairy and eggs. We saw these things and we also saw:
  • flowers
  • died eggs and HUGE ostrich eggs
  • duck meat getting cooked
  • grass fed beef
  • apples
  • root vegetables like carrots, beets and parsnips



We talked to farmers and their helpers who were selling their crops and other food from their farms. 

That day we ate snack of things we bought at the market. We had purple carrots, three types of apples, whole-grain bread and sunflower seeds that were still attached to the sunflower! Yum.


Bye, families!
