VisAd: Rosedale, A problem to solve part 2

Well.... Dmitri and I got together for a little chat in class today, and I feel like we have some similar ideas surrounding the farmers market aspect of health problems in Rosedale. We pointed out two problems in the market that we could chose to work on.

1) Food availability/awareness in the farmers market
-people don't know what produce is in season at any given time (this could lead to unwillingness to attend the farmers market)
          +This could possibly lead to a list of available produce, a list of kid friendly foods/meals
           /recipes, an icon system that would break the language barrier, or any other things that
          could bring people back to the local aspect of a farmers market.
          +Local parents would be our primary audience, but we should talk to workers, people that
          frequent the market currently, people that don't go on a regular basis, and the Rosedale
          Farmer's Market Team. 

OR

2) Awareness of the farmers market in general
-people don't know about it
-how accessible is it?

+we would want to focus on parents that don't know about it, so it relates back to the idea of healthy kids, but we'd want to talk to people that go, all people that don't go, people that work there, and the Rosedale Farmer's Market Team.
