A week ago I attended the Desoto, Missouri Farmers Market. Desoto is a small town located thirty miles or so south of St. Louis, and its farmers market was a really strong one.
bashful
One of the most fun parts of the Desoto Farmers Market is the animals for sale by Hammond Farms. The Hammonds raise llamas, alpacas, emu, goats, mini donkeys, mini Dexter cattle, peacocks, turkeys, pheasants, ornamental chickens, and probably a few other animals that Mr. Hammond and I forgot to talk about.
The Hammonds had mini-pot bellied pigs, goats and bunnies at the market on Saturday. Who knew that there was such a thing as a mini-pot bellied pig? Look at that adorable little pink nose, and check out how tiny those feet are!
If you live near Jefferson County, I’d suggest checking out Hammond Farms and the Desoto Farmers Market. Stay tuned for most posts on summer farming and markets in small town Missouri!
