My family and I recently visited the farmer's market near my mother's work. It was a very eye-opening experience. I found that some of these individuals live off of what they sell and produce. Some grow just for the market. I find that this is a wonderful way to support our community and eventually our economy.
It's also a way to help with the devastating lack of exercise. If you've ever tilled or weeded a large plot of land, then you know that it's a very good work out. Especially during the hot weather months. And picking one's harvest isn't a walk in the park either.
I really respect these people. They do something they love (if they do not survive off their produce, and grow just for a hobby) or they support local economy by helping their neighbors buy locally. My family plans to commandeer a booth some time in the future to sell our produce.
