Shop Local at Lake of the Ozarks
Thursday, May 28, 2015
Shop the Lake Area's Farmers Markets
Farmer's markets are opening up all around the Lake of the Ozarks area. Every weekend you can find them out, bright and early, offering fresh, tasty produce. There are quite a few to choose from near the Lake of the Ozarks waterfront homes at Mission Bay.Farmer's markets often feature the tastiest, freshest food that you can purchase, edging out even the best of grocery stores. Here are just a few reasons that you should pay a visit to one of these local vendors.
Fresh, seasonal food
The items sold at farmer's markets are straight from the farm. You will get the food that they are producing right after it has been harvested, instead of buying items from a store that have been on a truck or in a warehouse for days to weeks before making it to you.A larger variety than most grocery stores
Since grocery stores have to rely on what can be shipped to them and only order the items that they know will sell, their variety can be limited. Local farmers often bring foods that you don't normally see in a store to the market. You can sometimes run across foods that look familiar, but are offered in colors you have never seen them in. On the other hand, you may see shapes that you have never encountered. All of this variety gives you a chance to expand your taste buds.
Support local farming families.
You know exactly where your food is coming from and who the money you are spending is going to. More than likely the person selling to you is the person that actually grew it, or is directly connected to them and can answer your questions knowledgeably. Shopping locally is great for the economy too.Advice and tips from the experts
As stated above, the person selling to you is most likely very involved in the growing of the food that is being sold, so they should know all kinds of details about it. How often have you gone into a grocery store and seen something interesting in the produce section, but had no clue how to eat it or cook with it? You probably picked it up and put it right back down. The farmers at the market can tell you what you are buying, how to eat it, and probably even give you some great recipe ideas for it. Occasionally you can even ask for a sample. It's a great chance to try something brand new.It's healthy
Eating lots of fruits and vegetables is a great way to stay healthy. Shopping at a farmer's market with lots of fresh choices and bright colors tends to make you want to buy more than you might pick up in a grocery store aisle where everything kind of looks the same all of the time. Also, most farmer's try to stay away from the pesticides and herbicides that big companies use. You are very likely to get truly "organic" produce from a farmer's market. The best way to find out is to ask these experts all about it.Here are a few of the markets that you can find a short drive from your home at Mission Bay.
Camdenton Farmer's MarketOpen Saturdays, May-October, from 7 am - noon. It is located at the intersection of Hwys. 5 & 54 by the courthouse in Camdenton. You will find fruits, vegetables, meats, dairy, eggs, baked goods, flowers, crafts, and more.
Farris Fruit and Vegetable Market
Open Monday-Saturday, 8 am - 6 pm & Sundays 8 am - 5 pm. They are located at 1725 N Business Rte. 5 in Camdenton, and offer fruits, vegetables, crafts, flowers, and more.
Osage Beach Farmers Market
Open Saturdays May-September, 9 am - 1 pm. They are located in the Stone Crest Mall on Osage Beach Parkway in Osage Beach. They offer fruits, vegetables, honey, meat, baked goods, crafts, and more. This market features a kids' club where children can do activities to earn tokens to spend at the market. All vendors agree to a "Pure Food Pledge" and must farm within a 100-mile radius of the market.
Get there early for the best choices. Ask questions. Get to know your local vendors. After a few visits, you will know more about what you are looking for, and the farmers will know what you want and like. Having these wonderful markets so close to the Lake of the Ozarks waterfront development of Mission Bay is one more reason that this is a wonderful place to make your home. Happy eating!
Your new home is waiting for you at Mission Bay!

More Than Just a Large Body of Water

The "Lake" of the Ozarks
The Lake of the Ozarks is a favorite destination for many boaters and fisherman in the Midwest. The state park features 2 public beaches, as well as 2 marinas with boat launches and boat rentals. During the Summer, you will find these places swarming with visitors on the weekends. The park however, creates an oasis for boaters and anglers seeking to escape all the traffic on the main channel. The park borders the Grand Glaize Arm and is largely free of condos, restaurants, resorts and other venues that bring in all those tourists. Visitors of the park can find a secluded, tree-lined cove even on those busy holiday weekends!

The park has many features in addition to the water; any of the features you'll find at non-waterfront parks across the state, you'll be able to find here at the Lake of the Ozarks. The park has 12 designated trails for hiking, backpacking, mountain biking or horseback riding that cover some 50 miles. There is even an aquatic trail consisting of a series of buoys over 9.75 lake miles that allows visitors to discover the park's woodlands, glades and geologic features by water. You can even pick up a brochure that explains the scenery, such as the swallows that inhabit the rocky ledges or the cedars that would invade the glades without periodic prescribed burns.
The longest trail in the park is, The Trail of Four Winds, which takes hikers, mountain bikers and horseback riders over 13.5 miles through woodlands with stunning views of the Lake. You will even find a stable in the park for those who want to do the trail on horseback but don't have a horse. Several shorter trails also follow the shoreline. If you are looking for a great view of the Lake, which many tourists are, take the 2-mile Rocky Top Trail that climbs to one of the park's largest glades and then heads through the woods to a cliff overlooking the Lake.

Another feature of the park is the Ozark Caverns, showcasing the geologic wonders found in southern Missouri's karst topography. Visitors can take lantern-light tours and learn all about soda straws, stalagtites, blind grotto salamander, different bat types and more! The most notable feature of the caverns is the Angel Shower. This continuous flow of water from a "showerhead" of stalactites to a crystalline basin 8 feet below is something you won't forget!
The Division of State Parks has closed many of its wild caves as a protection against the spread of white-nose syndrome that is killing bats in several states, but Ozark Caverns is one of four public tour caves that has remained open. Even on holiday weekends when the Lake area is crazy, the caverns remain peaceful.
Next time you're in the area be sure to not only stop by the beautiful Lake of the Ozarks State Park, but also come by Mission Bay! We offer Lake living at its finest with gorgeous lake view and lakefront homes at the Lake of the Ozarks. Residents enjoy an exquisite clubhouse with heated indoor pool and outdoor pool and hot tub for entertaining family and friends, multiple common areas, parks and picnic areas, as well as a 1400' seawall and lakefront cart path to provide ease of access to community docks. With the new improved Highway 5, Mission Bay is just minutes from grocery stores, restaurants, and more!
