As my quest continues, I am so thankful for the Farmers who continually share their love and passion for their produce. For the past two years living in Vancouver, I've been supporting and getting most of the produce I create and eat everyday at our local Farmer's market. I remember my family bringing me to different places and kinds of Farmer's market. Growing up in the Philippines, my grandmother, mom and my cousin Sharon will bring us to the fish, vegetable and clothing farmer's market. I remember watching them and their conversations, their banter and their bargaining skills. They let me carry the loads of organic vegetables, fish, meat and fruits to bring home and cook together and ride the tricycle going home. They will let me clean the fish, boil the rice and cook the vegetables. I dedicate these photos to my family who taught me the meaning of organic, family and community.
