Thee scroll in the left corner is followed by a family walking. The mother is carrying a large bowl with what looks like berries. Beside her a boy and girl each carry smaller containers.
Next is a stack of boxes and food canned in Mason Jars.
In the middle in a field of bluebonnets is "The Public Cannery" a rock building with old time vehicles around it.
On the right end is a roadside vegetable stand covered in netting. A variety of vegetables are arranged on a table. On the ground below the table two children are playing. A woman is seated next to the table with a little dog at her feet. Meanwhile a woman and man appear to be shopping for produce.
