Civil Pops Grows Young Entrepreneurs
| Amid sketches for new branding and merchandise sprawled across the Civil Pops work table, there are three sticky notes with one word written on each: Youthful. Equity. Happiness.
Summer intern Jordan Smith and summer fellow Siya Green explain that these words were the products of a brainstorm around the key questions: "What do we want our customers to see? How do we want them to experience Civil Pops? And what's their takeaway after trying the pop?"
The young entrepreneurs are learning how to market popsicles, but Jordan sees her internship as "more than just a job." In this unique venture, the youth get to bring their own ideas to the table to expand and shape the business, and work together to make the best of those ideas happen. |

Bella Viva Orchards Bids Farewell
| After more than two decades at the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market, Bella Viva Orchards has decided to pull out of all of farmers markets to focus on their organic dried prune business. We will miss the Martino family and their delicious stone fruit, and we wish them the best in this next phase. Last Saturday was their last market day, but you can stay in touch and buy their dried fruit on their website.
