Farmers Market Group Update
Today I attended the meeting with the Community Board No 9. It was very interesting, but the Good News is that hopefully next year we would have a Green Market at the Montifiore Park by the 1 train station. I think that this is a great location due to the high traffic of pedestrian that this area has, including students and residents. One of the members of the community board focused on the importance of letting the bodegas owners know that the green market would not open to take over the businesses around this area, but rather compliment what they have or don't have in their bodegas. Also she emphasized the lack of variety of foods in these bodegas for the diverse community. My suggestion is that the next class should still work on this project we have started, and try to better our results.

it's good to know that the community board has made a decision to network with us. It's also interesting with how they adressed the bodega's concern of losing business by stating that the farmers market would be more of an add-on as oppose to a rival.
