It gets crowded on the weekends. If you try and stagger the time that you go, it may not be as busy. Parking is meter/paid parking, but you may luck up and find free parking. It's a must if you are ever visiting STL or if you simply want to go to the farmers market!! I love going to the Soulard spice shop. It is one of my favourites.I have a few preferred produce stands i love going to for fresh fruits and vegetables. And don't forget about the flower shop.

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!!

This is a very small market, which has its pros & cons. Because it's small you can get through it…read morein 15 minutes and get the basics and because it's small there is not a lot of variety. Everyone is friendly and prices are very reasonable. I really liked Crowe's Crafty Corner. She has seasonal garden flags and handmade crafts plus items like matching trivets & towels themed for fall or Halloween. Very low prices. There was a tent with a very cute blue pick up truck and I don't remember the name of it, I'm sorry, but they had a large selection of mums and some were absolutely gigantic. Excellent options. I noticed only one or two vegetable stands and one stand selling local meats.

Also I believe it was the owners of the trailer running it and they were so nice! Service was friendly and relatively quick considering how crafted the drinks are. Both the store and coffee trailer had such a good vibe. Clean, friendly, easy to locate. Super impressed!!

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.

Lots to see including the people.

What's that, you say? You say it's still too cold in March for the Maplewood Farmers Market?…read more Well. I would've said the same until I realized that the good folks at the Bottleworks allow the farmers to sell their goods indoors during the chillier, off-season months. Having had lovely weather earlier this week, they decided to hold the market outdoors this morning, which, in my opinion, was still a bit too early. Brrrr! But, there was hot coffee and other belly-warming goods on hand, so all was well. Cheery, freshly-cut Spring daffodils waved at us as we checked out the farmers' wares. Farm fresh eggs! Grass-fed beef! Fresh pasta! Amazing goat cheese! Overwintered spinach and fresh arugula and kale! Baked goods, jams & jellies and all sorts of things to make tummies happy! I love farmers markets and the Maplewood one is pretty great. Even better when it's warm and sunny outside, because then the harvest is particularly diverse and bountiful. Once it's growing season and the market is in full-swing, I recommend showing up when the market opens. Lines will already be forming. And I *will* elbow my way through the crowd for a few pints of Biver Farms strawberries.
