Eat Your Fruits and Veggies: OjaiStyle at the Ojai Farmer's Market

Having just read Oprah's 21-day vegan blog, I'm feeling a little depleted of my fruits and veggies. Oh I try to eat 45 servings a day (is that right?) but some days is harder than others. For example, today I had an avocado and some wine.

To inspire us all, I am posting some great pictures from photographer Whitney Hartmann and the Ojai Farmer's Market.

I also need some flowers!

I need to try these.

Here are some beautiful images of edible art from several OjaiStyle artists.
