The Floating Farmers’ Market
My 7th grade daughter had to give a report on Thailand this week in Social Studies class, and part of her report included a special kind of farmers’ market found in Thailand….a floating market! Vendors arrive in boats filled to the brim with produce, flowers, spices and more. From their boats they trade, barter and sell to other traders. I thought the idea was great, and I immediately thought of Harvard’s pristine Bare Hill Pond. Hmmm….. I wonder if the summer pond crowd would dig the idea of canoes filled with blueberries and tomatoes…
