Farmers Market

Taking part in Bloomington’s farmers market was both fun and interesting. The things I really focused on in the farmer’s market were the people, especially families, the food, along with the people selling the food, and the music. The very first thing I noticed was the food. The majority of the food sold at the farmers market was organic vegetables and fruits. The second thing I noticed was the type of people that took part in the farmer's market. The people selling the food were all everyday people.  The customers at the food market consisted mostly of families and older people. The music I observed at the food market reflected on the type of people there. All the music I heard was what one might call family friendly. None of the music was particularly aggressive and had no bad language. In participatory music everyone takes part in the music making in some way. Everyone is an equal contributor to music making. The farmer’s market is the same in that everyone there takes an equal part in the success of the farmer’s market. The vendors are no more important than the buyers. The music is also just as important. The music is part of what created the environment.   Everyone plays an equal role in creating the farmers market. Overall I thought the Bloomington farmer’s market was both fun and educational.
