Lake of the Ozarks Farmers Market
If you thought shopping at Lake of the Ozarks would cost you an arm and a leg, think again! Not everything at the Ozarks is as highly priced as it is presumed to be. There are markets held at regular intervals at the Ozarks that enable people to buy beautiful pieces of indigenous art and other artifacts, in addition to fresh, but seasonal, local produce at really low prices.
If you would like to taste fruits and vegetables grown in the farms at the Ozarks, then, head to the Camdenton farmer’s market. Located at the intersection of Highways 54 and 5, Camdenton Square at the Ozarks comes alive every Saturday from 7am to 12 noon. The Camdenton farmers market runs from the onset of summer till the end of fall which is about six months, from May to October.
The interesting fact is that though the market is referred to as the “farmers” market, there is more to it than just fruits and vegetables. You can buy just about anything ranging from plants and herbs to tables and chairs and many more. You can also find various handicrafts at the farmers market.
A lot of traders in this region bring along their wares and put them up in various booths at the market. The farmers market is the right place to pick up souvenirs for your loved ones back home. The prices of the souvenirs in this market will be at least 25% lesser than the ones sold in other expensive stores at the Ozarks. You can find linens, crafts and other artifacts inspired by the people of the Ozarks.
You can also just take a walk though the market and experience a whole new Lake of the Ozarks environment. Away from the parties and the maddening crowds, the farmers market gives you the feel of being in the countryside.
For the locals, the Camdenton farmers market is a place where they can catch up with people they have not met in a while. The dwindling number of cars parked at the square is a sure sign of winter setting in slowly. Plan your trip during the summer months if you want to experience the feel of the farmers market which you cannot find in the other parts of the world.
