What an incredible experience! While traveling through Douglas City we reached out to Nancy, who…read moreown's and operates One Thing Ranch, to see if we could come by and see her animals. She was very accommodating and we were able to visit with, pet and feed her beautiful llamas and alpacas later that day. They are curious and incredibly cute creatures. Beetle Juice the Alpaca was my favorite. Such beautiful markings. Nancy is extremely knowledgeable regarding everything llama and alpaca. She even showed us how she uses the sheered fur to create thread/garments. You can tell she cares deeply for all of her animals and it's so wonderful that she takes the time to educate tourists and the local community.

A few hours later I paid $4 from a farmer's food stand along the highway, and OMG were they delicious!) The music is very nice while you're browsing the square block of vendor stalls arranged along the perimeter of the plaza. The music is painful when you're right next to the speakers in the center, where the food venders are. Bought some fantastic bread from Beck's Bakery, and some wonderful, fresh veggies from a local organic grower. Tried 3 food vendors; 1 was great, 1 was good, 1 was a waste of $16 (for my tastes, anyway).

A committed group of local organic and sustainable practices farmers with all kinds of great seasonal fruits, vegetables and sustainable meats gather every Thursday afternoon to bring their offerings of the week/season to the community and in turn the community is showing up. There's always some great, chill live music playing in the background with smells of the local Bbq guy and awesome wood fired pizza from Pizza Gago filling the air. Bring your market basket and show up - it's a great few minutes in the afternoon once a week to get local products that's almost right in my backyard. 4 stars - it's a neat little farmers market that's got room to grow. 00413
