-POST MARI MARKET-

Last Sunday we experienced not just an organic marketplace, but a vibrant community engagement of sustainable living. A couple weeks back we joined the green market in Publika hosted by EcoKnights, and thanks to the initiative we were discovered by the organizers of Mari Market.

Mari Market showed us what it meant to WALK the talk. From the venue, set-up, vendors, selling requirements and all the small details that gave a humbling, wholesome experience as a whole.  Participating was more then just selling but par taking in a responsible and conscious lifestyle and community which was a beautiful experience.

Check out at what went down below!

Hey it’s us, Real.m!
Nothing fancy but it was all we needed.

The crowd started picking up as early as 10am and it just kept on growing by the hour. We were impressed by the community of unfamiliar faces and to know they were there to support the cause.

Vendors were asked to prepare recycled paper bags as shopping bags and they even had little stations which provided more for the customers.
