If you're looking for an international market this isn't it…read more If you're looking for primarily an asian market then this is the place you're looking for. i will let the pictures speak for themselves for the most part. what is not showing (and what was lacking today) was the fresh seafood in aquarium tanks in the back part of the store. i can't rightly remember all there was but quite a bit of shellfish. speaking of which, the frozen section is full of seafood. all the different types of fish you see on your favorite asian youtube cooking channels. the one thing i'll caution you about is KNOW WHAT YOU'RE BUYING BEFORE YOU DO. we bought fish to try something new and as soon as it had thawed out the entire house smelled like ass and stayed that way for daayyyyyys. a good selection of fresh vegetables and fruits. beef, pork, chicken. a lot of eggs. there is also a pharmacy there. btw i don't think they have japanese mayo. we looked everywhere.

Roger's Produce is a gem.

I feel better going here than Kirkwood Farmer's Market because it's lesser known and the prices are cheaper. Don't get me wrong, I love both, but Roger's is cheaper and sometimes has even better looking vegetables. They have a pretty good selection of pumpkins; most are uniquely shaped/colored. Nice spot!

Review Title: 4 Easy steps to 52 Saturdays of CONTROLLED CHAOS!…read more The MUST-DO thing for all St. Louis'ians and Non-St. Louis'ians. But you gotta do it right! Step 1: Schedule a Saturday off to yourself (yes, the Market's open Wed-Sat, but you get 100% vendorship on Saturdays) Step 2: Set your alarm clock EARLY! The trick is the "when" do you get there? Wait til the later hours of the day.. and every shop will be empty that you went for! I've learned this too many times in my sleep-in days, to get there way too late to find so many of the shops sold out, or the "runts" of the sales left. So figure out Early and then getup before then! Step 3: Get in your car and go shopping!!! (Follow the map of course!) Plain and simple you want fresh produce.. this is where you go. Whether it's veggies,. meats, baked goods, coffee, soaps, sweets, snacks, and even alchy beverages if you so desire! (and you just might as the day goes on) Get there early and load up! (Just warning you, you may have to make a few runs between your shops and your car, considering what you -could- load up on. Now as stated by many, it's a smorgasboard of what you can find, all along the entire market. (but just a word of advice, whatever you buy at the market, please clean and store PROPERLY as soon as you get home, this is a farmer's market and you can lose some fresh produce REALLY QUICK!) And just remember you're going to have to fight your way through the crowds. because EVERYONE and their relative knows to come here. (Picture yourself in a demolition derby with everyone.. cause that's what it's going to feel llike... Controlled Chaos! **See I knew I'd fit the title in here somewhere*) I will admit you there are some vendors that sell the usual "touristy wares" on occasion, such as "gold jewelry", Sports uniforms (Battlehawks, Cardinals, Blues), you know the quick .. touristy stuff. But the real value is the food and the food 'trucks', including BBQ , New Orleans style cuisine, mediterranean.. you know everything you can find at a farmer's market :) STEP 4: And to top off the day. a real daiquiri or bloody mary to seal the deal! And there you have it folks... 4 steps to a Controlled Chaos of a Saturday in the Lou!!

It's marketed as International Food, but found most of the product was Far East/South East Asia based. I did my typical thing of wandering the aisles, taking pictures for a review, when I was stopped by a severe looking woman/employee who had been following me, demanding 'What are you doing?'....'Taking pictures?'...'We don't allow that here'....'I didn't know'...'You do now'. I didn't see any signs prohibiting it though, but of course I stopped. Definitely nipped in the bud my enthusiasm for this place. My wife did end up buying supplies to make shanghai-style lumpia (spring roll wrappers and various sauces) along with ube jam to make cookies. So a worthwhile trip overall.

The quality of product we get through deliveries is very poor. The way they stack palle.t is…read moreridiculous also, they stack heavy items such as potatoes and onions on top of lighter product such as tomatoes on the bottom. There has been countless squashed product and mispicked items. They also send items there were not even originally ordered. Poor quality, poor organization, and poor overall service. Every complaint made has gone right over their heads and has not been solved whatsoever. They also made sure to make a system to where every time we order, we are guessing because they want us to order a day earlier. So the entire process is just a giant guessing game where they get to to do whatever they want. Do not use this company

A bit overrated. It is the biggest farmers market in the core St. Louis area. And the location at…read moreTower Grove Park is beautiful and picturesque. Though I found the selection to be a little lacking, but I must admit that end of May when I visited is early in the farmers market season. You are likely to see more produce offerings in July or August. But there were other things like the location of the market within the park being inconvenient for those walking to the market and seemingly the parking situation since I saw a long line of cars slowly driving by the market trying to locate a parking space. Market prices are also high, but comparable to the upscale ones that I find in Seattle. And lastly it was difficult to find a place to sit and eat. I had to walk about half a block away to find a bench. You may want to bring a towel to the market and have a picnic on the grass if you are going to get some food here.

My girlfriend and I went to the Tower Grove Farmers Market this past Saturday for the first time…read more We got there around 10:30 and it was already VERY busy. Way more vendors and food than I expected honestly, good energy the whole way through. First thing we did was hit Food With Yoo for hotteok. I got the pork bulgogi one and she got the O.G. with the cinnamon sugar and walnuts. Watched them make them fresh right there. Both really good. Then we stopped at the 4 Hands stand, I got a beer and she grabbed a bottled Fitz's. My beer was good but man, that Fitz's tasted like a non alcoholic beer lol. Neither of us liked it at all. We walked around for a while after that and ended up splitting a bánh mì from Grand Army Farm, the traditional one with the pork belly, Vietnamese sausage, pickled carrots, cucumber, jalapeño and cilantro. On the way out we grabbed a pint of the Lemon Curd ice cream from Bold Spoon Creamery to take home. Ate it that night, really good. Only real complaints are it was VERY hot and parking was kind of a mess at 10:30. There's parking, you just have to circle for it. We actually left our dog at home because we didn't know if it was pet friendly. There were dogs literally everywhere lol so that was a mistake. He's coming next time. 5 stars. Really nice Saturday morning date and there's still a bunch of stalls we never got to. We'll be back earlier next time, with the dog.

Cute decor too, very kind of rustic and homey. Reminded me of my time in Italy. Oh and they make fresh bread!!!! I've been looking for a cute little market like this so I can shop local and this place is just fantastic. Had a pretty incredible turkey sandwich too - I added speck to mine! Sandwiches all come with chips + a soda too.
