It's not an accident

It's not an accident that I like going to the farmers market. Did you know that it was Filipinos that started farmers markets in Stockton and then the folks over here on the bay thought, "hey we need those too." And then the idea spread. Palenke that's what the outdoor market is called in Tagalog. I do have memories of shopping for groceries with my grandma both in Guam and in the Philippines in a real palenke. My grandmother had a stall at one where she sold snacks. Yum! (Source: guest  professor speaker at the Filipino Festival) 

Me at the farmers market at the ferry building in the city. Fun fact: I went to 3 different farmers market in one weekend! Ridiculous.
