What the friends discover
At the farmers market, Tippy and Lobo notice that food can begin in many different ways: as a tiny seed, a berry plant, a maple tree, or the work of animals, farmers, and land together. They also see how neighbors can share what they grow or make.
A thought to carry with you: Different farms. Different foods. One friendly market.
