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.

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.

This was pretty good Farmer's Market and also the first we've been to since moving from the West…read moreCoast. I wasn't expecting much because my usual go to would any local honey, a coffee stand, pet treats, and produce. And I got what I was looking for and then some! The parking situation here is not bad since it's in the center of shopping plaza. We got here pretty early at around 8:00am and it was already set up and lots of people roaming around. It didn't pick up until closer to 9am, and we were already leaving by then. We stopped by the following: *Bean Sprouts Coffee*: I ordered a coconut kiss iced latte - so very good if you like coconut and vanilla! *Elli + Cubb Lemonade*: they have something called an orange crush which is SO YUMMY! Their drinks come in deli containers so it is a lot. My husband got a regular lemonade and he liked it *Tripleton Boricua*: We got the triple meat sandwich and a cubano - the bread was great, and the meats were juicy. This should have been the first bite of the market, but I'm glad it was the last. *Kandela's Food*: My husband and in-laws got empanadas from here while I waited for coffee, I wasn't hungry yet but I did take a bite - very good! *Smirking Dog Farm*: I noticed they had butter radishes here and beautiful, colorful carrots. I bought one bunch each and my total was only $9.00. I really enjoyed this market, and I hope to come back again!

Let me begin by saying I absolutely love a farmer's market. I have been to this one many times over…read morethe last few years. I am afraid this last time might be it for awhile. We arrived by 8:30 a.m. and the parking was already a nightmare. I love many of the vendors as well, but would like to see more veggies and meat options. I have a few I always hit up. The lines appear to be getting longer as well. Plus, it was getting so crowded it was hard to navigate. I love the location and it is close to home, but it took me 30 minutes to exit the parking lot. I am glad I didn't have another place to be. I will be heading to Tower Grove next time. I hope to give this place another shot in the future.

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.

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!!

Though you can purchase fresh produce here the pricing and variety aren't much different from local supermarkets. It's not a market I'd make a special trip to visit.

The farmers offer fresh vegetables and some even have refrigerated trucks offering a variety of meats. Vendors that offer freshly made breads, pastries, jams and jellies, can almost be classified in either group. Those who are true artisans, are offering handmade jewelry, candles, cutting boards, canes, dog fashions, clothes for children and original pieces of art. That's just a sampling of what you can find walking up and down all the aisles. When I first started coming to this market it was only one of the parking lots. It has now expanded to another one and the variety of merchandise is mind blowing. It is well worth a visit. When you arrive, stop and get a coffee at Joe's and then start your stroll to shop local.
