The first Clarkston Farmers Market was held Sunday, displaying the area's cultural diversity as well as fresh vegetables, frozen treats and crafts.
There was more to the new farmers market in nearby Clarkston than fresh fare.
It was also a celebration of the cultural diversity of the area.
From the Burundi Drummers to baskets made by a Bhutan crafter, the effort -- behind the Clarkston Community Center (next to the Clarkston Library on Indian Creek) -- was a melting pot of different backgrounds as well as a variety of fresh fare.
