I'm Hooked

So after seeing Food Inc on Thursday with some friends, I couldn't WAIT to visit Kansas City's biggest farmers market, the Riverside City Market. This morning, we made the 30 minute haul down to the market and after 45 minutes of colorful sites and delicious bites, I am HOOKED! It was so chaotic, yet peaceful. Everyone seemed to be in the best mood and I love knowing what/who I'm supporting. I've tried for a couple years to buy organic when there's an option and only (and I mean only) buy free range eggs after seeing a documentary on caged hens.
Open year round, this little slice of heaven made my day. Derek and I are cooking up some string beans and cutting our fresh cantaloupe to enjoy with dinner as I type! For dessert - a yummy, Mennonite baked, organic dutch apple pie that we saw! As most of you know, I LOVE flower shopping and planting and was overwhelmed by the beautiful stems at several booths. I can't WAIT to go back this fall and load up on mums! I'm definitely hooked on this place and will be back soon!

7/25 UPDATE - Went to the Downtown Overland Park Famers Market today and although it's smaller, the food looked just as good and took me 1/2 the time to get there. Overall, I have fun and enjoy walking around at either one!
