Americans Love Farmers' Market









Americans usually shop at shopping malls or mega-food stores such as Festivals, or Cops-Food. Recently, Americans find out shopping and socializing at Farmers' Market are actually more fun than shopping at the mall or mega-store. Here, at the market, you meet with your neighbors and you can carry few conversations that you would not have them at the mall. Attached are few photos that I took at the Market.
In Taiwan, there are many different kinds of market, from night market to dusk market. Recently, Chung-Hsing University organizes organic farmer market on Saturday. Most Taiwanese markets are bigger than American farmer market except Taiwanese organic farmer's market. The organizer of Taiwanese organic farmers' market once has told me that he got the idea from Wisconsin farmers' market. That is quite interesting. Then the next question is where did the organizer of the American farmers' market get the idea from?
