Fresh Food

Being a college student sometimes one can forget to put down the bag of Doritos and reach for an apple instead. One may also, feel as though an item such as an apple if inaccessible unless you go to the dining hall. This feeling may also be more prevalent if you are a freshmen living in a dorm without a car. However, there are many ways in which one can get fresh fruits and veggies.

One place you can go to obtain fresh foods, is on 826 Euclid Ave. Here one will find Syracuse Eastside Neighborhood Farmers' Market providing others with goods such as strawberries, apples, squash, tomatoes, potatoes, to items such as cookies, pies and jams. Don’t believe me feel free to look at their Facebook page and look at their market. Although, this market is only open once a week it is still a good resources if you want fresh foods because it is within close proximity of Syracuse University. https://www.facebook.com/syracuseeastsideneighborhoodfarmersmarket

If however, you would like to go to a bigger farmers market one can go to 2100 Park Street Syracuse, NY 13208 to the Central New York Regional Market. At this farmers market vendors from around the area bring varieties of fresh foods to sell at the farmers market. When talking to junior Nicole Williamson she said, “I was surprised at how much food I was able to buy for such a little amount. I was able to get 8 oranges for only $1.” One can go to the market on Thursday’s 7AM – 2PM and Saturday’s 7AM- 2PM.

I hope all of you who read this article get the chance to visit one of these markets and make delicious recipes if you haven’t already done so.
