University Disctrict Farmer's Market: Growing Things


Growing Things

I proceeded to ‘Growing Things.’ The stand itself was long and narrow, with various vegetable plants lining the sides. Towards the back of the stand stood two women. I began my asking the younger women her motivation for working on the farm. The younger women responded by saying that she wanted to continue with her lived experience of living on a farm in South Dakota; wanting to keep that agriculture aspect in her life. The younger woman was interning at the farm.

As for the older women, she mentioned she had been a teacher by training. As a teacher, she felt there was something missing, so decided to do something more beneficial.

Today, Growing Things supplies the U-District a wide array of options from fresh poultry, to organic eggs, to vegetable plants to start your own garden.
