Mommy

Marina (not shown) has just finished shopping at the farmers market and is watching her two kids, Adrian and Abigail, as they play with Farm Fresh employees at a coloring station that the employees had set up. While Abigail colors quietly, Adrian is very energetic. (Marina did not wish to have her photo taken, but gave permission for her children.)

Español:

Trabajo en el food truck (señala hacia el otro lado del parque) y siempre veía el mercado cuando pasaba por aquí. Me parece excelente. Vengo casi cada semana. Lo que compro en este mercado alcanza una semana. A veces voy con mis niños pero no siempre. El niño tiene siete, y la niña nueve. 

Suelo comprar tomates, cebollas, hierbas y frutas. Los precios son… más o menos. Cuando son frescos, vale la pena. Solamente voy a lo que hay allí (seńala hacia los vendedores de alimentos), no las tiendas. Es más grande que todos los mercados en esta ciudad. En Plainfield (en el mercado de agricultores de Neutaconkanut Park), es muy pequeño; prefiero uno grande como esto. 

English:

I work in the food truck (she points towards the other side of the park) and I would always see the market when I would pass by here. It’s excellent. I come almost every week. What I buy in this market lasts a week. Sometimes I come with my kids but not always. The boy is seven, and the girl is nine. 

I usually buy tomatoes, onions, herbs, and fruits. The prices are so-so. When they are fresh, it’s worth it. I only go to what is there (she points towards the produce vendors), not the stores. It’s bigger than all the other markets in this city. On Plainfield (at the Neutaconkanut Park Farmers Market), it’s very small; I prefer a bigger one like this.

Aw, there’s marker on my hand!

That’s an eye. It’s my Mom’s. Mommy!
