Girls Inc. hosts sustainable Farmers Market

GOLETA, Calif. (KEYT) Girls Inc. of Greater Santa Barbara Goleta held its first Farmers Market on Tuesday afternoon at the Goleta Valley Center.

Shoppers lined up to buy tickets and then used those tickets to buy everything from donated produce to bouquets.

The girls urged people to buy products from their stands.

Many of them made eco-friendly crafts to sell as well.

Emme Levelevier-Joseph said they are learning to reuse and recycle.

Tiana Garcia called it a sustainability market.

They were delighted by the donated produce and the turnout.

Some of the produce was grown in local backyards.
