As a regular customer at the Waterloo Farmers Market, I couldn’t help but contrast ‘my market’ to the ladies who gather in the village square to sell their meager supply of fruits and vegetables. This produce must come from gardens that are watered by hand because the blazing temperature in Sub-Sahara Africa would burn out a garden in a thrice. Obviously the bright patches of eye delighting colour also provide a strong contrast to the somber colours of the Mennonites with which I am so familiar.
