To Market, To Market

With all the local resources available on the Island, it's often difficult for students to take advantage of the farm fresh products for a variety of reasons. Time is never on a students side, and if you don't have a car it can be tricky getting to-and-from all of the different farm locations across the area using public transit. Thus, the market is a welcome solution to the I'm-a-student-and-I-don't-even-have-time-to-shower-let-alone-get-food problem (we've all been there).
