Winslow's Home

Winslows Home At Winslow's Home, we seek authenticity. Handpicked housewares, garden supplies and groceries mingle with all kinds of curios on the shelves. Prepared foods emerge from the kitchen honest, unhurried. The stores' better half is a farm. Constructed in 1926, our building in St. Louis, Missouri originally housed a market and a general store. Ann Sheehan Lipton and Randy Lipton have honored these origins since taking ownership in 2006. From bamboo dishware to mend-ready thread, Winslow's Home teems with products that allow the planet to thrive. Whether it's a bookend, a bike horn or a spoon rest, we favor a smart design. Chinese finger traps we sell just because. When it comes to food, we adhere to what�?�¢�¯�¿�½?�¯�¿�½?s local, healthful and a joy. Winslow�?�¢�¯�¿�½?�¯�¿�½?s Home is a neighborhood destination that offers an alternative to highways, byways and urban anonymity. Expect to hear your footsteps on the floor. Winslow's Kitchen is at once a commercial kitchen and a home's kitchen staffed by professional cooks and food aficionados. Using many ingredients from Winslows Farm, we prepare meals that encourage people to linger at the dinner table; meals that simultaneously nourish and give pleasure. Rather than setting a menu or adopting a single cooking style, we follow nature. We poach artichokes in the spring and stew a shoulder of lamb when our friends at Prairie Grass Farms in New Florence, Missouri tell us they have it. All year round, we maintain a balance between meticulousness and spontaneity. Fairness is a term you�?�¢�¯�¿�½?�¯�¿�½?ll hear often in our kitchen: fairness to customers, fairness to food producers as well as fairness to the ingredients themselves. We never want a carrot to lose its carrot-ness. To that end, we strive to ensure our food arrives to your table with its integrity intact. We want its taste, texture, smell and appearance to make the utmost impact on your senses. Winslows Farm rounds out our efforts in the city by allowing us to keep food fresh and real. We believe that presenting our customers with local bounty increases their understanding of food production along with their respect for discrete ingredients. Located about 35 miles northwest of St. Louis in Augusta, Missouri, our 300-acre farm is free of chemicals and rife with possibilities. So far, we have worked with a four-acre sliver, planting vegetables, herbs, blueberry bushes and a few fruit trees. We also keep bee hives and Dominique chickens, (which belong to) a Mayflower-era breed. Oftentimes members of our store and kitchen staffs will assist the farm crew in planning, planting and harvesting. Grocery items such as roasted pepper spread and stewed tomatoes encapsulate this cooperation between farm, kitchen and market. (A passionate gardener and one-time florist, owner Ann Sheehan Lipton ) Some crops have been planted as pollinators, and then there are those that grow for purely for aesthetic reasons. Color wonders like cosmos, zinnias and sunflowers travel from the country to the storefront every summer.
