Arriving to the Farmer’s Market, Sami and I did not know who we were going to interview or even where to start. We started walking down straight from where we got dropped off, and we found a vender. That vender was Thomas Farms, which was run by Jim and Sylvia Thomas. Walking up to them we were nervous about how they would react, since the space was not very big. When asking to interview them, their words were yes immediately. Knowing they were willing to be interviewed was a relief off our shoulders. As we asked the questions they gave us above and beyond what that question was, which was a good thing so we could get to know them better. We both noticed how Jim looked us both in the eyes with questions we had. When things would get busy Jim would say excuse me for a moment instead of just walking away this was also a plus.
The second time we came back we were just watching how they act towards the people, and learning about who they are. During the 45 minutes we were there, they asked if we would be interested in helping them sell corn, they also gave us water, see generous. Well we told them we would help them, while yelling 4 dollars for 14 ears of corn, they smiled and got a lot more people at the booth. We successfully sold corn to at least eight people. For everyone we sold we got a dollar. The money Tiffanie got from selling corn she gave to a homeless person who happened to be part blind and was crippled. Sami spent her money on a nice refreshing Mtn. Dew, It was hot and she got parched. Also while spending time with Jim and Sylvia, when Jim was busy Sylvia shared story about how someone in her family had died of an aneurism. Then Tiffanie shared a story of how her mom had an aneurism two years ago in October. So it was good interaction with them.
