378: Telling Our Stories | Harvesting Story Seeds with Megan Lovely
We all know the value of capturing our farmers' and vendors' stories to strengthen connections between our markets and our communities. Megan Lovely took things in another direction when she set up a table at the 32nd Street Farmers Market in Baltimore, Maryland for more than a year and asked shoppers to tell their stories. She captured that experience in her book, Story Seeds: Growing Home at the Farmers Market. Join us for this episode as she shares:
The strong value of farmers' markets' "weak ties"
Creating and recognizing Third Places
Realizing stories are made of small moments
Learning from a shoppers' view of your market
How to gather your market community's stories
