I love this store. The food is so fresh, it's amazing! The plant selection is great and I feel the…read moreprices they charge are fair. The food inside is priced well. I saw someone else comment about buying moldy strawberries, and what I will say is that this fruit is really fresh and will mold quickly if you don't eat it immediately. Always check fruit before you buy from anywhere because produce always has a risk of mold. I like the farmer's market ambience, the handmade signs and drawn price tags etc. I've only ever met nice workers here. It's a great place.

Do not buy flowers from there that are way overpriced. I spent 241$ for flowers there and thought…read moremaybe they would throw in small plant or flower after that much money but no so ok. I get home and after watering and feeding the flowers, in 3 weeks they were dead. Yes I watered them just exactly like the ones I bought from Buccheits for a fraction of the price and they are beautiful, thriving, and looking so healthy. I will never again spend that much money there or buy flowers from there. I see that their produce is going sky high so don't think you will save money by going to a produce stand. I also read someone commented on their produce that they bought there and the berries on the bottom were no good. I thought I was doing the right thing going to a family owned business to super them, however I now see that my 241$ may have helped them in their business, it sure didn't help me. If you would like pictures to see the difference in my Buccheits plants that were so so much cheaper and thriving, and Richard's produce flowers... I'll be more than happy to take these to show you. I held off bc didn't want to embarrass you unless you asked for the pictures.

Worst customer service I have EVER had. Ive gone here weekly for about 5 1/2 years and spend about…read more80-100 each week. Today I went there and purchased a bunch of fruit. When I got home it was 90% spoiled. I live in south city and its a good 40 min drive might I add. When I called and asked what could be done I was told its sold as is, so I basically wasted 40 dollars plus 40 mins in time and gas. I will NEVER spend another dollar at any Andys location. I will just go to Soulard Market. You try to stay loyal to a business and this is what happens. Last visit here for me

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!!

I have been there several times for produce, European foods, and international snacks. I like that the store is laid out by country, which makes it so much easier to find what I'm looking for. Some of the male workers that I have encountered have always been really helpful in helping me find what I'm looking for or some type of substitute.

If you go up and down every aisle, it's like a trip around the world…read more As you shop, you will find items that you didn't know you needed. Also, don't be afraid to ask employees questions, they'll be happy to assist. My last visit, I was with a friend who was shopping to make spring rolls and he got assistance from a little old Vietnamese lady who was a customer herself. Listening to her explain all the detailed steps made us both smile. Be smart when shopping the canned goods, some items can be more expensive. However, the fresh vegetables are always a good value. The meat department makes me cringe, but I know that is just me being quirky. My friend gives it a thumbs up. Customer service is okay, nothing outstanding and nothing bad. It's just okay. The cashiers get you out the door in an orderly way.

Tuesday is a little more…read morechill, we had time to walk around and visit all the stalls even though we didn't get there right when they opened at 4:00. They stay open till dusk None of the farmers had lettuce, bummer! But we had so much fun, I dragged my daughter's with me and we made a stop at Field to Fire Stl, chatting with Mike about the Red Lantern Night Market and how good the Watermelon Salad was that he sold there, so fresh and delicious! We stopped at Farm Spirit; I see them at the Saturday market but never ordered. I had people to share with, so we got the smash burger and caprese salad. The burger was so good, great crispy edges and a super soft bun, add the chili crisp was so good! We went back to Field to Fire and ordered Crab Rangoon dip. We dug in when we got home with the Fry Bread the gave with it. DO NOT miss this!! So good, lots of crab meat, cream cheese, sour cream, onion, sesame, ginger, garlic, chili, sugar, vinegar, scallions, and salt. This is the crab rangoon dip you want over and over. Fresh produce and food that is so good! We did get a few vegetables from Yoder - one of my favorite stops on Saturday and Tuesday. Great vegetables and fruit!

We just wanted to see what the parking situation was since this is a huge farmer's market. Lots of…read moreparking available depending on how far you want to walk lol We found parking inside the park, maybe less than a 10 min walk. It's pretty huge, but I was hoping more local farmer/produce options. This was cute though because the center of it was a playground, and a pavilion for a live band. We eventually found a few spots we bought from. Is it worth the drive from St Charles? Eh, lol but it was nice to finally visit.

There are various vendors that sell locally prepared products and locally grown produce, flowers, mushrooms, and honey. There is often times a food truck/beverage truck as well. I bought some fresh cucumbers, asparagus and granola. The granola was delicious and savory. They offered samples to try before buying. There was a Boba food truck out Boca Boba, it was absolutely delicious and refreshing for this sweltering hot day!
