I want to explore whether it is economical for a person to start a business and earn a decent living, with today's living standards. Second, the quality of produce at a farmers market versus a supermarket. Finally, research whether small businesses contribute more to the local economy than larger businesses. Farmers' Markets Farmers' markets have always existed, and there is strong reason to believe that they will exist long after our time. There are several reasons why this age-old tradition still exists today and revolves around a very common question: “What does a shopper find important when they are about to purchase food for consumption, or how the product is grown/produced, processed, marketed?” and distributed. Supporting farmers markets and ensuring fair trade between retailer and seller can help promote healthier lives while building stronger communities. There are several reasons to support a community's farmers market event because purchasing real, locally grown food can allow the shopper to have options between freshly harvested food that tastes better than that sold in supermarkets. Another benefit of farmers markets is that the food is sustainable, flavorful, supports local farms, and in some areas, some of the proceeds go to the unfortunate within that community. Because the food addition is generally tastier, locally grown food is adapted to the climate in which it was grown and can stay fresh longer than an imported product grown in a different climate.

Having food sold through private markets eliminates middlemen and allows more money to flow back into farms, which helps the farmer reinvest money back into their business and other businesses. The money that flows back into local businesses then boosts the local economy through a process called the multiplier effect. The multiplier effect is an economic term used to describe when a small investment of money is pumped back into the economy, setting off a chain reaction that grows exponentially. For example, if a consumer gives the farmer $20 for his goods and the farmer spends three-fifths of his income ($20 + (0.06x$20)), $32 would be the amount of money available in the market from initial investment of $20 (Krugman, Paul R. and Robin Wells).
