After being at Cornell for a whole year, this past weekend was my first time visiting the Ithaca Farmers Market. The walk there was a journey on its own. I got to see the different styles of houses in Ithaca and how each of them seems to have their own personality. Having grown up in a city, the market was not what I had expected. I envisioned small fruits, vegetables, and food stands, but what I actually saw and experienced was a whole different thing. Behind some trees and a lake there is a path to the market that is located in a beautiful wooden structure. What surprised me about the market was the variety of food stands they had, which represented many cuisines. Also as an occasional painter and arts-and-crafts fanatic, I enjoyed seeing the art creations of other people. I bought a hand-made picture frame that showcases the hard work and unique style of the artist. Now I see why it is considered the second best farmers market.
