There are many farmers markets around the city, but none quite like the one at Union Square. The farmers market at Union Square brings so many people together every time it occurs. Most to all of the produce is farm fresh which most people in the city don’t get everyday.

Oysters of many kinds.
Over ten different types of hot peppers all lined up together.
Even though Halloween is over, it’s still fall, and the pumpkins are still being sold.
A combination of city and farms, with a truck from the city and fresh herbs from the farms.
Sunflowers that were brought to a city from a farm.
Five different types of spices that are all different shades of oranges.
A cute sign that promotes an organization with the purpose of getting people to eat slower because it has many pros for your body.
Neatly stacked baked goods with someone packaging them to sell.
Lines of maple syrup in different containers from a farm in West Glover, VT.
Maple candies in glass containers of all kinds.
Beets on the side of leaks.
All the vegetables lined up with the roots sticking out. People mill around to buy food.
Mini pumpkins and other smaller gourds sit in various spots together in different shades from orange to white, with green on some.
Although no one (except teachers) reading this will be able to buy this alcohol or drink it legally, the effort put into the aesthetic of these drinks shows how the small town vibes of where these were probably made can be brought into the city.
Dried peppers hung for show (and if you’re brave enough to eat them).
Many signs for dairy products from cows (and goats) who eat grass instead of already processed foods.
