Day trip 101 Market ~Otsego, MN

On Fridays  I try to do someone that revolves around my daughters! That is almost insane to think about considering my entire weeks and days revolve around these girls. Me weeks are becoming busier and busier which means Mommy is spending a lot of time on her computer or desk. Friday for us has just turned into a day where we try to get our grocery shopping done and venture out of the house. It's hard to make more than one stop with these little angels but most Fridays I am in it to win it. 

This fairly popular produce and flower market is located right off the 101 highway going straight into Otsego. It's a nice and tucked away right off the highway in it's own little world. Big tall corn fields boarder the back of the building and the landscaping was gorgeous. I did not really know what to expect as I have never been there before, which even surprised me. I hear about it all the time and even follow along with them on Facebook. They have incredible events all the time. In the morning they have a enchanted fairy garden event! I wish I didn't have the busiest weekend of my career ahead of me! My girls would have LOVED that. 

Did I mention why I even took the trip down? I seen on Facebook the market had just got in RAINBOW ROSES. Yes you read that right. My daughter Aurora turns 3 in the morning and I just knew it would be so special if we ran down and got a few! Inside the greenhouses they're set up and decorated quite extensively. Everything seemed to be for sale and I really admired the amount of items they had. From bird baths to the large mason jar planters I think all of us had in our houses growing up. Except these came in bright beautiful colors! They had a large selection of trees and flowers. I was most impressed by the size of trees they had for sale. They also had a flower section just for butterflies and had big color butterflies floating around. My girls of course went crazy for them. Inside it was set up like a little grocery store with fresh produce and a in house flower shop. The woman who helped us was named Shelly. Shelly is AWESOME! It's pays to be kind because at first impression I wasn't sure if it was a good idea I had brought the kids down to explore. There was a lot of things that could have been broken and let's face it's not like it's a playground. Shelly was friendly and polite! She helped us right away and let the girls each pick the rose they wanted. She even wrapped them in tissue paper with a ribbon. Such a perfect fit for my special birthday girl! Or should I say girls, as my oldest daughter birthday is not too far off! Shelly did not want our youngest to feel left out so she went in the back and got her a mini rose to take home as well. I was so pleased by that. Such a small gesture went such a far way for me! Next we will have to fill a sack of sweetcorn for home!
