Vegetable Plants at the Neighborhood Market

Friday, July 5, 2024
Some of our neighbors open a kind of markets during Spring or Summer seasons, the two-weekly market. 


Fig 01 - Seedling vegetable plants.

I think having neighbors sell their own goods can be more than interesting, even a great way to build a sense of community and support local businesses. 

Typical goods that neighbors selling are:
- produce 
- baked goods.
- crafts 
- arts
Homegrown seedlings/ vegetable plants

In addition to plants, they sell jelly too. We can find jelly of pepper, strawberry, pineapple and jalapeño.
