Farmers market participants speak to a local vendor at a farmers market hosted by the 374th Force Support Squadron at Yokota Air Base, Japan, March 11, 2023. The seasonal farmers markets increase on-base residents’ access to local produce, allow for face-to-face interaction with host nation residents, and help build bonds of trust between Team Yokota and the local community.
