A Visit to the Farmer's Market

by Susan LaBella

Tara and Todd were at the farmer's market with their mom. The children liked looking at the fresh fruits and vegetables, homemade breads, and jars of jam. Tara noticed Mr. Walsh at a table with big bags of potatoes. "Hi, Mr. Walsh," she called. "You have a lot of potatoes! " "Yes" replied the farmer. "I have been growing potatoes for years. My farm is perfect for that. " "What do you do with all those potatoes?" Todd asked

"I sell them!" Mr. Walsh replied. "I sell some to grocery stores. I sell others to factories that make potato chips. The stores and factories pay me for my potatoes. They order more from me each year. " "Wow," said Tara. "What do you do with the money they pay you? " "I use it to buy supplies for my farm," he answered. "I also use it to pay the people who work for me. " "But do you grow anything besides potatoes?" asked Tara. Just then, Tara's mom walked over. "Mr. Walsh," she asked, "may I please have two bags of potatoes? And do you have any of your great carrots this week? " "Yes, indeed," Mr. Walsh replied. "See, Tara, I grow carrots, too! "
