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.
