A few days ago, I posted about our trip to the Baker Creek Seed Company here, and today I'm going to share a load of photos from the rest of our day! Baker Creek Seed Company lies on a homestead just outside of Mansfield, Missouri. Although the store is open almost year-round, they welcome the public onto their beautiful land a few times a year to sell an abundant variety of seeds!

Apparently, there were quite a few Steemians at this gathering, but I didn't get to see many of them. Or maybe I did, and just didn't know it ;)

We ate lunch at the restaurant on-site and we were pleasantly surprised that they only charged for donations to feed hungry children in Thailand. How cool is that?!? We were more than happy to donate!
