O'Fallon farmers market!

Yesterday my mom and I went to check out the O'Fallon farmers market and I fell in love! This is 100 times better than the St. Charles farmers market. I was able to pick up all kids of fresh veggies that had been used with no pesticides or fertilizers (but not called organic because it costs a lot of money to be called that by the gov.). Its great because you can talk to the farmers themselves and they will tell you anything you want to know about their farms. I was also able to pick up some bacon and hotdogs from another farmer. They have pictures of all their farm animals sitting out and welcome anyone to come out and have a tour of their farms. This made me feel at ease because its hard to be cruel to animals when you have an open door. Also, the hotdogs were the best I have ever had and they were made of all beef, not the ears, nose, tongue or whatever else they use. We haven't tried the bacon yet. I also picked up some homemade cinnamon rolls from an amish group. Yummy.....is all I can say. The kids gobbled them up so fast! Would definitely recommend and if you go, you will probably see me there since I think I will become a regular!
