Our class visited the Cobblestone Market yesterday to talk with some vendors about economic principles. It was interesting to learn about soap making, jam and preserves, goat milk products, and bread baking. The students met a baby pig that was four days old!

Our students asked questions such as, "What are the byproducts of soap-making?" and "What expenses do you have when you make jam?" They learned that the cost of the glass jars that the jam is packaged in, plays a role in the price of the jam.

Students shopped individually but we also bought a loaf of quinoa maple bread and blueberry preserves to try in class. Yummy!
