Texas Township Farmers Market

Sociologists who study shopping behavior report we have ten times as many conversations at a farmers’ market compared with a supermarket. According to author Bill McKibben, “You go from being a mere consumer to being a participant, talking about what you like and dislike, expanding your sense of who’s in your community and how it fits together.”

Join the conversations in our community at Fresh on Q! Here’s what we’ll be talking about on August 28:
