Fairs and Farms! And Oprah lies....

So the QMIX-a Lots spent last Saturday morning at the Farmer's Market/Fair on the Square! It was kinda fun to walk around and see what local area farmers and merchants had to offer! It reminded me of the markets in Europe kinda....which are super fun I think! Its too bad we cant make that a regular thing here in the states...
So we were looking around trying to find something unique and original...and we came across the Sierra Club's vehicle-- there was foliage growing on the roof!!



So we thought that was pretty wierd- you don't see that every day! We also tried some of their "As seen on Oprah" Purslane they had on display!


Cool story about this stuff- the lady at this display was watching oprah the other day and they were doing a bit on this plant that supposedly has all these antioxidants, vitamins, and other stuff thats good for you. Oprah asked where this guy found it- and he said that his was imported from Paris....this lady who knows her gardening...gets up, checks her backyard and sees what she always thought was a weed is this purslane stuff!!




So in conclusion....Oprah Lies.




and the Farmers Market was pretty sweet! Go get your purslane!
