Can't say I didn't try to support our locals

My girl went on a farmer's market shopping spree the other day. I was happy to see her supporting locals... until I ate what she bought.

The cantaloupe was lackluster and left my tongue confused and resentful
homemade tamales were dry and insulted the cornhusks in which they were steamed
the squash had an acceptable flavor but was small and clearly NOT genetically modified

C'mon oklahoma. I have faith. You're better than this.

Who else shops farmers' markets? Is there a better one than what we have in Stillwater?

honestly - vegetables in Oklahoma - It's like their watermelons - the Rushsprings watermelons are garbage - Every watermelon in GA tastes like God hand picked it himself.

The only thing worse than the food at farmer's markets are the crafts. <_<

Can't really blame the state I guess - the weather here is not typically ideal for growing vegetation.

I do have to commend them on such a great shooting community - the people and BBQ are amazing!

I have watched the farmers market here dry up and its about to blow away. People just dont go anymore. Makes me mad because i do go and am loosing a good thing because of it.

I grow my own, and it all tastes wonderful. I have about a 300 sq ft garden, and you would be amazed at what all you can get out of that space.

Edmonds farmers market is pretty good but you have to get there early before all the veggies are picked over.

Taymoor, was this the market that is in the east parking lot of St. Anthony hospital on Friday afternoon??? Just wondering as I have contemplated buying from it in the past.

I went to Moore's the other day. My total was 6 dollars, handed the kid a twenty ( I say kid but he was HS/College aged). He counts out three 5's and starts thumbing through some 1's. Confuses himself, and has to bust out his smartphone and bring up the calculator app.....

We grow OKRA... get it, OKRA! . Sweet corn and 'maters cane be a crap shoot here.. too hot, too dry... to wet. But OKRA loves it here!

I am not sure where it all comes from... but the Outdoor Market in Dallas has a lot of good stuff year round
. Seems like someone could figure out how to get some of that stuff 2.5 hours north to OKC.

Who eats veggies anyway...

Those of us who wish not to flush our colons down the toilet by accident one day. That bowel cancer can be pesky like that....

No, I'm talking about the Stillwater Farmer's market
