Greens at City Greens

Oh boy, City Greeners.

The growing season is finally in full force! Our farmers have been hard at work making sure that we have the most epic selection for the season.

And by epic, we mean EPIC.

Not only are we seeing the first of the turnips and beets, but we also have radishes, red onions, and tomatoes. Plus chard, kale, pac choi, arugula, spinach, and amaranth.

And the lettuce. Oooooh the lettuce. We have leaf lettuce, miner's lettuce, fozzy lettuce, green romaine, blonde lettuce, red lettuce, and red romaine lettuce. It's all beautiful and it's all delicious.


 
Arguably the best part? Strawberries are here!!

We're open every week 10am-6pm Tuesday thru Friday and 9am-1pm on Saturdays.

See you at the market!

Happy Hour This Week!

City Greeners who come every week very well know we've had a lot going on.

The Grand Opening was a huge success! It was a beautiful day and we had community members speaking about the market, a ribbon cutting, lots of (delicious!) samples, and lots of shoppers in attendance. Thanks to all who came out and showed their City Greens love!

 
 
We've gotten in some new products, including lard, sliced deli ham (comes frozen), and pork snack sticks, all from beautiful Singing Prairie Farm, home of John, Holly, and family. Plus we have a few different whole-bean roasts from Stringbean Coffee (regular and decaf available!), roasted by Pete in super small batches. Also new to our shelves are Billy Goat Chips which come in original and kicker (a little spicy!) and in three sizes for your snacking needs. We're now carrying MOFU, Missouri tofu that's hand crafted in small batches, made from non-GMO, Missouri soybeans. We're also starting to get deliveries Wednesday and Friday afternoons from Red Fox Baking of fresh artisan loaves of bread. Finally, Buzz Broz Balm is now on our shelves, too! Luke and his brother have bee hives in Maplewood and Hermann, MO. Their lip balm goes on really smooth and there are great flavors!
 
Stay tuned for more info about that happenings at City Greens Market!
