Tall Tales from Kansas

Hang on to your hat, bear with me, and feel free to scroll as quickly as you need to. Today was the first day of the Lawrence Farmers Market, I may have taken more photos than necessary. I couldn’t help it, I was excited. I got there in time to hear them ring the bell to open the market at 7:30am.

The couple above, he in spam hat, she in orange, looked as happy as I felt to be there.

More happy market goers. Love their smiles.

If you want get your vegetable garden started, they had what you need. If you are like me and have been biding your time for local flowers… oh they had those as well. Tulips or ranunculus and those were just the ones I got photos of.

I know I am biased, but gosh I was glad to see Thuy from Liquid Garden, I have been needing to get some of her juice and protein balls.

I want to learn to bake with millet flour. There is a spot in LA that I love to go to that has millet toast. It is the BEST. Research to be done and of course a conversation with the vendor to get recommendations. Do any of you use it? If so, do tell.

Oh hello Pina Colada cake. How I have missed you and all your baked good relatives.

They won the award for best transporting of produce in bags AND coolest glasses.

Here is what came home with me today. It was so lovely to see my people and be out on a Saturday morning in my town. The feeling of community is unmatched. Something we all need right now.

P.S. my tulips are “Columbus” according to the very friendly grower from Cooks Market who is always extremely patient with my questions.
