What struck you about the location you visited?  Was it what you expected, or very different?

 

What struck you about the location you visited?  Was it what you expected, or very different?

 

Well the very first thing that caught my eye was that I expected it to be at least inside of a building but instead it was a group of tents with food out in front it was a very un-expected look or at least not what I had anticipated.

 

Do you think you will go to a CSA/Farmer's market more often?

 

At the moment I don't have a definite answer but I would probably say that I would

It is just the feel of being there and plus everything tastes better there (I bought a few things while I was there)

 

How do these locations fit into our essential questions of "why don't people live more

sustainably" and "How can I convince them to do so"?

 

I guess the locations fit into the first question because these people growing their own food are taking a few steps to living more sustainably and in a way seem more like the opposite of the question. Seeing as how these people work for their food I would say the reason some people don't live sustainably  is because they are simply lazy, that is just guess and only a possibility.  As for the second question I would say explain the positives of growing your own food, that way some people might start doing it, once again it is only a possibility, other than that I do see one more thing.  Maybe these places might inspire to encourage to people to start living even a bit more sustainably watching people make a few bucks of what they grow (sometimes money is all that drives people).
