Fruit

I've happily gone through my life fairly naive. This is one of those things I'm glad I now know, but also kind of wish I didn't. Did you know there are many who claim if you see fruit on a gas pump in Missouri that you should leave immediately? It's true and many say you're in danger if you see it happen.

The bad news is this infamous fruit-killing fly has been reported in America already this year. The good news is it hasn't been confirmed in Missouri, yet. But, the USDA is warning everyone to watch out for signs that this pest might be causing damage to the state's fruit.

Live near Warrensburg but just can't get up early enough on Saturday to make it to the Farmers' Market in Warrensburg? That all changes this afternoon.

But, I don't get it! Oranges are sweet! Apples are sweet! Sure, they're not as sweet as an oatmeal or sugar cookie, but they're better for you!

I can't have chicken breast every day, after all.

The Sedalia Area Farmers' Market has become a tradition in our area.  We're surrounded by people and places that thrive in agricultural subjects, and our local growers are some of the best. If you want the best in fresh, local food and produce, you can't beat the Farmers' Market.

The Fruit Club made a stop in Sedalia at North 65 Cafe last weekend to deliver fresh, hand-picked Georgia peaches. The Fruit Club offers seasonal fruit from only the best orchards in the United States. This month they brought peaches hand-picked the night before and driven on a semi truck from Fort Valley, Ga. to Sedalia.
