To Market, To Market
A Guide To Locally Grown FOOD in the St. Louis Area
Information provided by University of Missouri Extension
To Market, To Market Guide sponsored by AgiMissouri
Fruits, Vegetables, Eggs, and Meats
fresh from nearby fields can offer the finest flavor and
quality, while providing the opportunity to get to know
the farmers.
When we are able to talk to the producers of the food we
eat, we are able to ask questions to see how it has been
raised. Some examples are: Have you sprayed this produce
with pesticides? How recently? Is your beef antibiotic-free?
Are the animals grassfed, or grain fed?
Buying your food locally is also an efficient way to support
your state and county economy. To help locate sources of
locally grown fruits, vegetables, and meats we have compiled
this guide, To Market, To Market: A Guide to Locally Grown
Food in the St. Louis Metro Area, based on information provided
by producers. The guide is organized by state and county;
a farm will be listed in the county it is located but the
listing will indicate if that farm drives to a farmers market
that is in closer to the St. Louis Area.
The following codes describe the various types of farm operations:
Farmers’ Markets (F) enable farmers
to bring produce and other products to sell at a common
location. Variety is often diverse, so individual items
are not listed. At many farmers’ markets, demand is
high, so plan to arrive early.
Greenhouses (G) sell crops that need protection
from winter cold, such as bedding plants, vegetable transplants,
house plants and cut flowers. Most greenhouses have plants
and/or produce available for sale year round.
Organic (O) growers may or may not be affiliated
with any organic growers association. Many growers will
use organic practices but choose not to become certified.
These folks may not then be able to legally call themselves
organic. For this reason it is important to talk with the
grower about his/her agricultural practices.
Pick-your-own (P) operations are located
on the individual farm, and are usually associated with
fruits and berries. Harvest your own produce at its peak
freshness.
Roadside stands (R) Are usually located
on the farm or close by. Some are small markets offering
a wide variety of items.
Subscription (S) farms charge a fee for
membership that entitles subscribers to a weekly share of
fresh food grown on the farm.
Wholesale (W) farms sell wholesale to groceries
and/or restaurants.
Meat (M) farms sell meat products.
We hope this guide will help put you in touch with Missouri
growers of quality food – and provide an opportunity
for a fun outing as well.
