If you couldn’t already tell, my husband and I make our home in the wonderful city that is Kansas City. Here’s some things we love: local restaurants, farmers markets with delicious fresh produce, people, art, modern design and exploring! Along with that, we own and operate a healthy vending company in the Kansas City area called Originally Organic Vending.
Below you’ll find some of our explorations in the form of restaurants, places, and events:
