Okay, so I definitely don’t want to go to work tomorrow after a three day weekend, ha. Surprise, surprise.
Erik and I went to City Market on Saturday and here’s a little recap from there. First off, as their website says and if you’re not familiar, City Market “has been one of the largest and most enduring public farmers' markets in the midwest, linking growers and small businesses to the Kansas City community.”
City Market began in 1857 and it currently has more than 30 full-time merchants that are open year-round.
There are many more in the summer months (a lot more) equaling more than 140 vender stalls that include plants, fruits, vegetables, herbs, fresh baked goods and other sweets, cut flowers and crafts made by local artisans.
A couple venders that I particularly love is because of these … fresh loose leaf tea and fresh spices & herbs.
So neat!
Erik and I got some cold tea to drink while we were walking around. I tried pomegranate pear and Erik got some kind of Roobios tea (I forget what kind).
Oh my goodness, it was the most flavorful tea I had ever had … SO good!!
I wish I would have bought some of the pomegranate pear to bring home with me but I didn’t.
Basically, I love City Market and I wish I lived closer to it so I could get all my produce there (because I think I would)!
I just love farmer’s markets and all things fresh like that!! Ha, it’s very exciting to me! : )
