Reviews for: Tower Grove Farmers' Market

It's a beautiful place to enjoy a delicious cup of coffee or tea, while eating locally thus thinking globally. Is there any better way to eat right?

It has wonderful produce and salsa. It has crepes, free yoga, and music. It's a great way to spend a Saturday.

It is intimate and filled with so many fresh delicious vegetables as well as home-made products. Also, I couldn't think of a more beautiful setting.

The high quality of vendors' wares, the diversity of products, the entertainment--and the most interesting mix of shoppers (and their pets) make my weekly trip to Tower Grove Farmers' Market a great way to wrap up my week.

It is a place were I can get the best fresh vegetable's, eggs and treats around while I enjoy great music, yogi, and meeting with new and old friends and friendly dogs. And yes I can have breakfast. I just love the park and the people and the farmers that live and work so hard nearby and in our city. Makes me feel hopeful and alive to this fantastic earth.

I love the atmosphere at the Tower Grover Farmers' Market! There is a great selection of fresh produce sold by people who really care about providing the community with quality products. And all within minutes from my house!

I love the market. The atmosphere, the food, the people, the location. I could not pick a better market in our neighborhood.

Local meat and produce that's in season is the main reason i go. i appreciate how hard it is to raise food and want to spend my dollars supporting the local people who bring it to me weekly.

What a great market - great variety, good foods, fun eats... and you couldn't get a better location with the playground, fountain, splashpool and beautiful scenery - lily ponds, trees, landscaping, etc.

Because of the fun people and great variety of produce - friendly farmers and the "knowing" where my food comes from. I also appreciate the fountain and enjoy watching the children splash, and the music is fantastic - it's a fun outing on Saturday mornings!

Expensive produce but well worth it to have this great market within walking distance. Much more is offered than strictly local produce as well.

TGFM is an anchor to the already great neighborhoods around Tower Grove Park in St. Louis. My wife and I shop there all the time and we love the idea of being able to walk somewhere and then buy local.

Because it is wonderful to have farmers and artisans selling their wares to us practically in our own back yard.

Great location, great vendors, music, smell of coffee, crepes, and free yoga. The TGP is my destination every Saturday morning in the summer time.

It is convenient to my home and set in the tranqil location of historic Tower Grove Park. The majority of items offerred for sale are products of cottage industries. The vendors are always knowledgeable and eager to talk to you about their products. It's a nice break from my usual hectic weekday schedule - a pleasant, leisurely, and interesting amble among the different vendors' booths.

It becomes more than just shopping for good food but a time to socialize with friends and neighbors.

We love the selection, vibe, friendliness, and family friendly market! We go almost every week!

We visit the market quite often from May thru Sept. We come all the way from St. Charles.The vendors are friendly..with wonderfulfresh produce and products. The music is entertaining and the crowd is the best of all.....kids, dogs, old friends, new frieds... What a way to build community while supporting local food farmers, vendors and artisans. It's a Saturday morning destination at it's best.

There is a wonderful selection of high quality locally grown food. There is also a great selection of beautiful handmade items. Tower Grove Farmer's Market provides an inviting and happy gathering space for neighbors and friends alike.

Great healthy, locally & organically produced food & fun family atmosphere! A perfect place to see & talk with neighbors you haven't in awhile.

The produce is amazing, it is in my neighborhood, there is wonderful selection and it brings the community together

Because they have the best fresh veggies and fruit and FREE yoga every Saturday! Living 4 blocks from the park, I can stroll on over and see what's new each week!

It is a great asset in South St. Louis City. It's only in its fourth year, but I can't imagine the south side without it now. Truly a regional treasure.

So many reasons! To encourage the production of organic produce and meat. To support real farmers and ranches in rejection of industrial farming practices. To support locally grown food sources. To enjoy honestly grown, really flavorful, fresh food, as well as support the community of like minded people for whom food source is a real concern.

Tower Grove Market introduced me to healthier produce and protein. It's variety is astounding and the vendors are pleasant and informative. It's also a great place to meet neighbors and chat for a few minutes with other area residents.

Excellent selection of locally grown foods, cheeses, meats, all within walking distance of my house. A real sense of community,seeing neighbors and enjoying our beautiful park.

I love all of the things that has happened in the neighborhood these last few years. The market is where I go every Saturday to buy wonderful produce, bakery goods, and other products produced by these local farms, and buisinesses. My friend, Annie and I head for the coffee and crepe booths,, sit in the pavillion, and enjoy the morning, mingling with both strangers, aquaintances, and friends. Then there is the live music. Truely a great way to start off the weekend. Thanks, Will Pascoe

It's an awesome location,they have great items you don't feel like your shopping. Theres no reason not to support them they are a wonderful addition to the neighborhood!

This market is in the most beautiful setting of all markets. The produce is fresh and local. It is a pleasure to go there

Because it provides quality produce, meats and other services and it supports our local growers. Where else can you shop for the freshest local produce in the most beautiful setting?

I love Tower Grove Farmers' Market because it is a relaxed atmosphere and, as a member of the Fair Shares CCSA, I like seeing Farmers that I know at the Market and buying from them.

I prefer locally grown or produced foodstuffs or products - not just food purchased from the wholesale (Produce Row) market and then resold at Soulard. The Tower Grove Market is within walking distance, too.

Walking distance from my house, yoga in the grass, great crepes, excellent selection and quality of produce...what else could you want. its where i am on saturday mornings.

Free yoga is amazing and supports the whole community, not to mention all the wonderful local farms and their food. Live music, the park is happnin' on Sat. mornings.

Most all of the vendors abstain from using pesticides. There is free music on Saturdays and lots of local restaurants sell their products there.

It's all local, and mostly organic. Very family friendly atmosphere, in the park, and it always has great music and morning yoga!

Delicious, local, friendly and good music in a lovely park. They got it all right!

Where else will you find local, chemical free food? It's also a way to just support a wonderful community!

It provides the community with locally grown food that is high quality and great prices. It also is a great way to bring people together from many areas and walks of life.

Great farmers and good variety of items available. Also, they do a great job is creating a sense of community.

Delicious fresh food (and other surprises)sold by friendly vendors in a beautiful park setting. No better way to spend a Saturday morning!

great farmers - great selection - great crafts! All local and great to support them. The Tower Grove Park location is convenient and what a great use for such a City gem! People watching, a plus! And the live music, yoga and laughter of the children makes it such a pleasant way to spend a Saturday morning.

a bounty of good foods grown and prepared without chemicals in a beautiful park. dog friendly, child friendly, a great market. the fountain is icing on the cake.

Tower Grove has great products, works hard to help farmers and brings in lots of people to the market. I love shopping there.

I enjoy being in the park, interacting with the farmers, and seeing friends. A variety of vegetables, fruit, pesto, cheese, baked goods, eggs, chicken and meat are available. Everything I've purchased has been fresh and of a high quality. Music, plants, massage, and a variety of crafts add to the always changing variety available.

The market is well-run and has great farmers. We buy all of our meat there and most of our vegetables and fruit. Plus, there's bakery goods, coffee, crepes and yoga too!

This market not only supports local growers and provides fresh, wholesome produce to our historic urban neighborhood, it also provides an experience in which members of our richly diverse community can come together to celebrate our coexistence. All that and really great free music--can't beat that with a stick, as my dad would say.

It's great to be able to get local food in a very social setting. It's not only about getting great produce and goods, it's about community.

Good food - especially fruits and vegetables plus good bread and sometimes local meats. Nice opportunity to hang out in my neighborhood.

Homegrown, homemade, wholesome produce, meat, dairy and baked goods like I used to get on my grandparents' farm when I was a kid. And a great sense of community.

Best selection of locally grown and produced items. Community and family friendly style. Location at Tower Grove Park with pavillion, playground, fountain, pool and great music every weekend!!

Basically all of the food is local, lots of it with organic practices, or certified organic.

I enjoy supporting local farmers, I think the organizers do a FANTASTIC job, and the food is better!

Wonderful variety of local produce and goods. Close to home. Very community oriented. Great activities for the entire family.

They have the best vendors, free yoga, great entertainment, well managed, and just as good as a farmers market can be. More vendors, great quality.

I love it. close to home, good people, great products, small production. Everything is local. you go to Soulard farmers market and you can get oranges. where do we grow oranges around here? Local Farmers Market = local seasonal eating!!!

Tower Grove Market brings a sense of community, a wonderful opportunity to purchase local produce and a relaxed environment with great music in a wondeful park. It really shows the spirit of farmers' markets and it is of great value to the community. Thank you for providing this wonderful community service!

My family and I enjoy our Saturday mornings at the Tower Grove Farmers Market. While my wife does free Yoga in the park the kids and I enjoy playing at the playground, splashing in the fountain and dancing to the live music. But more importantly our family, and our community is able to find fresh, local, organic produce, dairy and meats. The vendors at the Tower Grove Farmers Market are

Such a great family place. They have given new life to a historical park that has been out of the limelight. They are helping to revitalize a neighborhood, and where else can you justify feeding your kids balls of dough and sugar for breakfast! YUM!!!!

They are a real asset to not only the neighborhood in which they are located, but to the whole city of St. Louis. It is unique with many offerings such as art, entertainment and free yoga classes in addition to quality produce and other yummy, healthful foods.

It's a bike ride away from home, the sellers know what they're selling and appreciate their buyers, and local/organic is darned tasty.

Tower Grove Farmer's Market has led to a fantastic gathering of local farmers, folks from all over St. Louie supporting locally grown food (and therefore helpin' move us and the earth toward sustainability), local musicians, local kids everywhere having a great time and well, just local everything! Tower Grove Farmer's Market is helpin us all 'Go Loco for Local!'

I like that there is a locally supported, community market close to me and the yoga is a great idea!

Its a wonderful little market and a great place to spend the morning. Not to mention the local food and yummy treats.

Our country is in dire need of places like Tower Grove Farmer's Market. One of the only markets I know of that always has fresh fruit and veggies available 100% of the time.

I love that the Farmer's Market is within a walkable distance from my home, it draws a large crowd to the beautiful & historic pool pavilion in Tower Grove Park, the money I spend there stays local -- And the food is great!

It's an awesome park and initiative in the city that helps cultivate community, culture, diversity, and good health!

Because it's a great source for locally grown foods and a great asset to its community.

Love our local farmers and all the work that they do.. they deserve our support

I live in the area. Not only do I love having a local Farmer's Market, the produce is great.

Have been in and out of the area for years. Worked for Pelican's of Pelicans Restaurant at Grand And Shennandoah, as Mrs. Pelican's nurse. Also worked at St. Louis Bread on Grand at Arsenal for a long time..This area needs a market of this type, as the bus routes have changed, and many of the seniors and disabled cannot make it to Soulard. It is time for one closer to the South Side, and will benefit many, as well as the dietary advantages. Thanks, and Good Luck..It is excellent..

We go there because there is a great selection of local meats, veggies, and fruits coupled with a full morning of entertainment for the kiddies. It's our every-Saturday activity.

The TG Farmer's Market supports some of the best locally grown/manufactured products available is America's heartland. The TG market provides sustainably grown/manufactured products. The TG market thinks global and acts local-- the first step in saving the planet.

I specifically go here over all of the other farmers' markets in St. Louis because it is all local food.

variety and quality of produce and products. atmosphere. fun for the whole family

It is so convenient and easy to get to. The people are so nice and the food is fresh. The variety is amazing and for a good cost.

love it! nice setting with lots to do for the kids, playground and water play on top of everything the market organizers plan that is fun for families. Also, yoga! Oh, and great vendors!

I love Tower Grove Farmers' Market! They have a great variety of vendors and local products to explore!

As an RN involved with healthy food on a national level I think we need to grasp every oppertunity to provide the very best food to the public. I feel this is done best by providing locally grown produce, dairy and meat. Their are many facts out there that prove that our good health first starts with good food and if we have a hand in the growing of that food then we have a stake in our health. Things like this bring community together and we need that.

I LOVE going to the Tower Grove Farmer's Market when I visit family in St. Louis. Every booth has something to delight the senses and I feel good about shopping there, buying nutritious food for my grandchildren and supporting the people who make the market happen.

It is the best market in St. Louis. It has a tremendous variety of local and organic foods and products including: fresh produce, locally raised meet and cheese, fresh bread, homemade jams and salsas, artisan crafts and jewelry, delicious crepes and locally small batch roasted coffee. It is in a wonderful setting in beautiful Tower Grove park which has a lot of great family freindly activities including: music, outdoor activities, a fountain to splash in, and even a yoga class. If you live in St. Louis or are just visiting it is a great place to do your shopping and enjoy a Saturday morning.

Terrific variety of products, wonderful vendors, beautiful setting. It's a gathering place for the entire community where we can buy healthy products, support responsible farming, and catch up with our friends.

Organic foods, city and locally grown, artisan producers, bike friendly and a great place to go with the kids on Saturday mornings.

They've got a wonderful variety, charming vendors, and a great location for taking your kids. The free yoga doesn't hurt either!

Not only are all the market offerings fresh and delicious...but it's a total community happening that we didn't even realize we were missing until the market started. Now, it's by far the best place to be anywhere in a 30-mile radius on Saturday mornings....

One of the best produce markets I've ever visited. Wish we had a Tower Grove Farmers' Market here in California!!

It's the best combination of socializing, community, music and food! Both the kind you devour immediately while listening to live guitar and take home to prepare following a new recipe someone has just shared with you! Fantastic!

It has the best local and fresh produce of any farmers' market in the area, and is in a wonderful and beautiful neighborhood. A morning of botanical gardens, park strolling, and fresh produce is a perfect way to start a saturday.

It is close to home for us and carries wonderful fresh produce and meats in the ambience of Tower Grove Park.

I love this market! So many local growers of organic produce, in addition to the variety of specialty foods (love love love the Baetje Goat Cheese). Also, area crafters of jewelry and clothing. All near a beautiful greek pavillion where there is a fountain and playground for the kiddos to enjoy. Add to that the clientelle of the south city area and you've got a winner every time!

They always have quality, locally grown products, many times they are pesticide free too.

Only local produce and products, not imported from around the country. And it's continually growing, year over year, and more people understand the importance -- and VALUE -- of shopping locally.

They have made it more than a market. They have entertainment for all ages. It has a very relaxed atmosphere. They allow vendors to make a reasonable profit by keeping their vendor fees reasonable.

Because it is a CITY market - an urban reminder of why we should care about where our food comes from! The park is a perfect setting - always run into lots of friends. Great produce, great people - keep up the great work!!

Tower Grove is not only a gorgeous setting and conveinent, but the vendors there are top notch! With free yoga, free music and wonderful produce and food, you really can't go wrong with TGFM!! I love walking up there every Saturday morning

Best farmer's market - right up there with my other favorite in Madison Wisconsin. The produce is always amazing and top notch! The vendors are knowledgable, friendly, and give great tips and recipes about how to best appreciate their foods! It is truly remarkable to see the different groups of people who all come out and support the market. There are children with parents, grandparents, people with their dogs- everyone just out enjoying life. The free yoga draws crowds every weekend. Tower Grove park is the perfect place to embrace this kind of happiness!

Best market hands down in STL...amazing produce, well run, great music and activities...and at the prettiest park in STL.

because the produce is wonderful--fresh, locally grown, and you can talk to the farmers who grow it!

It brings local farmer's together with great neighbors! The selection is wonderful and growing all the time. Love the fresh milk, beef, and lamb. The goat cheese is amazing and I'm addicted to Kakao's sea salt carmels.

I can walk there from my house, and its a great community event in addition to being able to find locally grown organic food that hasn't been processed or had other unhealthy routines or raising.
