MY VISIT TO A VEGETABLE FARM.
#Marketfriday as initiated by @dswigle. Thank you for the wonderful initiative.
I went on a weekend visit to my in-laws place yesterday and as a custom, the wife will be in charge of cooking for the family. My mother in-law described a vegetable farm not far from the house to buy spinach to make soup for dinner. When I got to the farm, I saw different vegetable such as jute, spinach,maize, potato and okra.
I met the owner of the farm and told her the vegetable I want to buy and the amount. There is no fixed price on vegetables. You say the amount you want to buy and they uproot it for you. I paid #200 which is about 500cent for the spinach I bought. I took it home and prepare the soup and enjoyed it with one of the popular food in my ethnic group. (Amala)
You don't get any fresher than that, do you? Farm to table! Yes! They look yummy and tell me what it is that you made for dinner?
I have run so far behind in the comments of #MarketFriday that I am having to do the abbreviated one so that I can finish them in an (almost) timely manner. For this, I apologize, but, just know that it doesn't change the way I viewed your post. I have read them all at least once, some twice and as usual, I am pleased to say that I always get the best. I just love how people have embraced the community and have really been making an effort to visit the other posts, learning about each other and giving pieces of advice, their opinions, and most of all, showing support to each other. That is what community is all about. I want to thank you for doing that.
Thank you for being part of #MarketFriday! I am honored.
#MarketFriday began as a way to reach out across the globe and learn about different cultures through their markets, especially local markets and farmers' markets, and eventually branched out and evolved over time from straight shopping to a cultural affair as it highlights how we differ and then again, how much we are alike. We have become a melting pot of culture, but, it is still the Rituals, Festivals, food, architecture, and even your language/languages that separate us... Along with the fact that is these things are normal for us. There are unwritten rules that rule our social behaviors. I see this as allowing for increased tolerance between cultures and nations, and opportunities to come together on an even playing ground. A strong culture can be beneficial to a country as it promotes unity, especially during a crisis, peaceful debate, and open dialogue. I have learned so much about all of you and it has been an amazing experience. I can only hope that learning about each other can help us work together for a peaceful world.
