3/5/08- Greenmarket

Sam, Sophie, and I went to Union Square to help a woman named Karen who is a sheep farmer. All of her cheeses and yogurts were made with sheeps milk and she also sold lamb and sheep meat. At first we weren’t sure what to do, so we just stood around drinking cider. But after about 15 minutes, we started handing samples of sheep’s milk cheeses and yogurt to passers by and made lots of sales. It was easy, but it was also pretty fun. Sometimes I felt imposing when I would ask someone if they wanted a sample and they didn’t. They acted uncomfortable and seemed to feel obliged to then look at our stand. But most people appreciated the free samples and asked for more. It actually surprised me how many people came to our stand. At the end of the day, Karen gave us each a free piece of Brebi’s Blanche cheese.
