Eddy Tells Us Why East Palo Alto Needs a Community Farmers' Market

"The farmers' market has a whole variety of different types of foods and different types of people. It would be a good idea because a lot of people need to go outside and get fresh air while shopping. Have you ever been to an outside grocery store? If not, then come to the farmers' market. They have a lot of different people to meet with. I go to school at E.P.A. Charter School. My garden teacher took me to a farmers' market. I loved it. It really is a great experience. Farmers' markets are awesome!"

Editor's note: Eddy has volunteered to work on the East Palo Alto Community Farmers' Market Organizing Committee. His leadership is inspiring and reflects the student consciousness that is prevalent at East Palo Alto Charter School.
