Burlington, Vermont, Farmers Market.
You may have to forgive me, but this is where you’ll find me many Saturdays. The Burlington Farmers Market is a place with lots of activity and, of course, good, fresh food.
Three years ago I had the opportunity to visit the Mahane Yehuda public market in Jerusalem (see photos below). It’s also a place with lots of activity and, of course, good, fresh food. But there’s one unfortunate difference, a difference far removed from us here in Vermont.
Markets are amazing places. Full of food, spices, sweets, people … they should be places where we never have to look over our shoulder, pass through a checkpoint, or have concerns for our safety. I wish this were true for our brothers and sisters in Jerusalem.
