A California farmer's market is different from a Kansas farmer's market. In Ojai there are fresh fruits, vegetables and flowers. In Lawrence there's meat. Fresh baked Mennonite biscuits with a delicious slab of Mennonite sausage.
There are also Mennonite pies. And pork rinds of unknown denomination. Which is not to say there are not the traditional fruits, vegetables and flowers. Well actually, I haven't seen any fruit yet but I did buy two lovely, yet non-traditional, purple tomatoes.
There's also local honey and demonstrations on how to make fishing lures.
At the Wichita Farmer's Market, where we were visiting recently, you can buy wigs and art.
In Kansas, what we lack in vegetation, we make up for in creativity.

That's hilarious Carrie. Wish we could sit down to a slice of Mennonite pie right now!
The Mennonite pie is good but we've been forgoing it for this really good, "kick ass" as Anna says, granola. I'll bring some when I visit in spring.
