Ahh, the beginning of May-- time for all the great Farmers' Markets to start opening around the Kansas City metro. These markets are without a doubt the best places to find everything from fresh produce and herbs to baked goods, handmade crafts, and plants--all which are pretty much exclusively made and grown by local farmers and growers. The City Market, KC Organics and Naturals Market, and Parkville Farmers Market are just a few KC faves. So support your local farmers and enjoy the wholesome goodness and fun farmers' markets bring.
