Story of my weekend, stopping in close to closing but I had to have my Freshe tuna and they are the only place I know that carry it. A new flavor! Siracha. I picked that up as well as the Aztec Ensalada and Provence Nicoise. They are so good, can't wait to try the Thai Siracha. There were several other people shopping but I wanted to head out instead of moseying through the aisles looking at all the great local and unique items. Checkout is a breeze, don't forget your rewards! No bag and no receipt by design. read more

I found out Local Harvest does a farm box and now we're there every other Sunday. They also have a 10% discount on everything else on days you pick up your box. For the box - wow, we get an awesome selection of produce and other goods and for the quality, it's totally worth it. We've loved having the challenge of some unique items we would never buy otherwise too. It's been such a cool addition to our grocery items. The store itself is very cute, I'm from the Bay Area and it reminds me of a cool little Berkeley bodega. We loved the herb/veggie plants this spring, love the fresh, local produce (great mushrooms!!!), and local milk! They have such cool, unique ingredients and have really leveled up our cooking. We love buying local, and love that they also support all local vendors. Such a fantastic business. read more

The people were so friendly! Such a cute tiny grocery store with actually so many options. Very small, we were one of maybe 5 people in at the time and kept bumping into each other. Loved it here though! Would recommend! read more

Local Harvest Grocery is a little neighborhood grocery store a few blocks from my home on Morganford. I had a new recipe that called for red curry paste, but at a surprisingly unfruitful trip to Trader Joe's, I decided to call Local Harvest and see if I could pick it up there. Sure enough! They did not disappoint! The phone was answered quickly by an employee who said they did but then went to the shelf to make sure it was in stock, and she returned to the phone to tell me they did have it. On entering the store I was greeted by a small refrigerated section for fresh produce. Passed by some interesting selections of liquor and started down a short aisle that was simply a treasure of ingredients! I kept thinking of how many interesting dishes could be created with items from these shelves! It was hard not to spend time examining all the items on the shelves. Not finding the curry paste I asked the clerk who remembered my call and she cheerfully showed me the shelf where it was located. From organic items, health foods, kombucha, wine and liquor, frozen meats, dairy products, fresh bread to spices, it is amazing that such selection is contained in this very cozy grocery. The customer service was excellent. What a treasure in St. Louis. read more

I stopped by Local Harvest for a pizza kit recently and it's been awhile since I've been there. I used to go more often when I lived in South City. They have a great selection of local goods and I love that they have their drink selections in the window now that they have moved to curbside only. Personally, the model is difficult for me as I love wandering around grocery shopping. I completely understand due to their size to go to this model instead of having to monitor how many people are inside Im just not good at planning ahead when it comes to groceries. Will definitely be back as things start to normalize again! It's a great spot for high quality local goods. read more

Amazing staff and wonderful selection of produce and bulk items! Worth the drive! :).

Neat little store. May be good if you are in the neighborhood but for me, it wasn't worth the drive. Limited selection. Cramped isles and not much by way of customer service to explain how things work like bulk items where you provide your own container (or use one of the cleaned up cycled ones provided in the store). Interesting concept but might need some tweaking on execution. read more

Loved this cute grocery store. We stopped by looking for a specific CBD drink and unfortunately didn't find it. Both the people working suggested a few other options to us that were great! read more

Update on CSA: Joining the CSA has helped me improve my diet (and cooking motivation) with relatively little effort on my part. You can tell a lot of time and thought is put into the weekly emails that list the origin of each share item, how best to prepare and store it, and recipe ideas--these really help me maximize the use of my share and learn more about vegetables in general. I also have to give a shout out to the wonderful non-meat protein options I've been introduced to, including Soy Curls and del Carmen beans. Both were truly delicious and something I wouldn't have known about otherwise. I've scrolled through some of the lower rated reviews below and I have to say it's pretty easy to throw criticism at a place that is reflecting the *true cost* of food production/labor, transportation, and packaging. I may sound like a Portlandia parody myself, but as an engineer I'm a pretty practical person and it's hard for me to ignore the effect the food industry is having on the world (see: plastic waste for the most sobering example, in my opinion). We will all pay the price of cheap food, one way or another, don't fool yourself about that. For more on this, research externalities. As another review stated well, a grocery store like Local Harvest is the future of food (if we want a future at all, that is). We need places that support bulk, packaging-free or packaging-lite options for getting our dry goods; we need places that support locally grown food to make our food distribution networks less carbon-intensive; we need places that support fair labor practices and humane animal care (for those who eat animal products). read more

I am so fortunate to live across the park from this amazing grocery store. I have been going there since it first opened and have never been disappointed. Since Covid hit Local Harvest has moved to curbside and while I miss being inside and deciding what I want, filling in an order form or using the walk up window, (really enjoy the walk up windows at out local shops) has me in the habit of planning what I need or want so no spontaneous purchases. And the staff is over the top fabulous. As busy as they are they always take time to greet you and have remained their friendly, helpful staff. read more

Great local privately owned mostly local organic groceries. Nice inventory and staff. Recommend!

Too many tempting treats all in one place. From plants to desserts, they've got it. And don't miss the fried pies.!

I hadn't been to Local Harvest in years. I placed an order on a Monday for the Yelp #ImosUglySweater pizza kit, the toppings kit, and a few groceries since I was going there anyway and have been trying to be supportive of local businesses during the pandemic. You browse the photos of groceries on their website and then call in your order and verbally give them your credit card. When you arrive you give them a call and they place your order on a table outside the door. There is no going inside or picking anything out yourself. My observations were as follows: The pizza topping kit ($15.00) was extremely generous and I barely dented it when I decorated my pizza. That was about the best buy I got. Their groceries are on the pricier side and you don't really even know what their stock is because you can't see it. I attempted to tip the lady who brought out my groceries in cash but she would not acknowledge my presence or the fact that I was speaking to her through my mask. She just put the order on the table and hurried back in. I looked for a tip jar outside to put it in and there wasn't one. I shrugged and moved on. I'll be back next time it's the pick-up location for something I need. read more

Local Harvest is a short drive or bike ride from my home, in Tower Grove South area. We go in for local staples that are tasty and unlike anything else in the area. From cheeses, craft beer, wine, crackers and chips, fresh produce, impeccable honey--Local Harvest has its small store packed with options. In particular, they have specialty craft beer and wine options that other grocers in the area do not carry, making for a unique selection that you can't beat. Another thing that we love is Ozark Mountain Creamery milk--it's tough to find around St. Louis, but they have it here! One time, I was biking past and stopped in for a few items for dinner. I didn't realize I had forgotten my wallet, but luckily ApplePay is an option, making it easy to just scan my phone to make my purchases! Some may say that it's too pricy, but for my wife and I, we enjoy supporting locally when we can, and we've found several favorites that we keep in our home on a regular basis. I've experienced them running out of fresh herbs a time or two, but I think they do an amazing job of stocking and rotating all the groceries, and always having yummy seasonal options for their customers. Even beyond food, they sell economically conscious cleaning products, make-up, home goods, and lotions. Fun to find things you normally wouldn't try! The staff is very friendly and extremely helpful--we are always greeted with warmth when we come in. We continue coming back and tell others about the goodness of Local Harvest any chance we get. I am so glad I have such an awesome local grocer in my neighborhood. read more

Pros: I love the idea of Local Harvest! Supporting a local business, buying local produce and meats, and having a variety of vegetarian and vegan options are all awesome, cool things that I support. Also, they have a free seed library! They have it organized by what kinds of plants you're trying to grow as well as the level of experience required to successfully grow it. There are instructions on how to harvest seeds from what you do plant so that you can give back to the seed library and keep it going. The beer and especially the wine selection quite large, considering the tiny size of the store. The alcohol section takes up probably a good quarter of the store! Cons: However, I just can't make it my main grocery store because it's on the pricey side and the selection is pretty limited. Overall, though, what small selection they do have is fresh and local, so if you're willing to pay a higher price, go ahead and do it! You won't regret it! read more

This is clean eating, responsible eating, vegan, gluten-free, all-natural, organic, hormone-free, free-from-any-other-food-concern heaven. If you're someone who has a food allergy, who is big into sustainability, who cares about supporting local efforts, or just someone with a small but appropriate suspicion that everything in regular food is trying to kill you, this is your happy place. Although the produce section is limited (just one aisle), it's pretty much all locally grown and organic. It's always super fresh, not to mention that it's nice to know where your food comes from, and the way it was grown and transported gave the poor Earth a break for once. I love that they even sell milk and eggs from a local farm (though this can be a bit pricey, at about $5 a carton of eggs). Maybe it's placebo effect, but I swear it tastes better. They also sell dry goods by weight, so you can fill up your own baggies with organic lentils, organic flour, organic couscous, and GMO-free soybeans. Did you know GMO-free soybeans were even a thing? It's like discovering that unicorns exist. There's also a big selection of health conscious frozen and canned foods, a sizable beer and wine selection and lots of environmentally sound home products to browse, like cleaning and personal products. Did I mention there's a whole refrigerator of kombucha? Lololol. OK, sorry, it's just too easy to tease a hippie food store. But in all seriousness, I want to give this place a hug for existing. read more

The Local Harvest Grocery If you live in the Tower Grove neighborhood, the Local Grocery is an excellent place to do your shopping. Instead of driving to the whole foods or trader joe's or even the schnucks, walk to the local grocery. They have a good selection of vegetables for your produce needs, so it is excellent if you need a few things to make dinner, but also for your bigger shopping expeditions, they have frozen goods, meat, dairy, fresh local eggs as well as a lot of pre-packaged food. Or for emergency tampons or chips or kombucha, you can slip in here instead of a corporate hole like 7-11. For being such a small store they have a lot to offer, and almost everything is local with lots of healthy and organic foods. eat local and eat organic and support a small business in one easy stop:). read more

Local Harvest Grocery - Grocery Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

A great little grocer. Everyone there is super helpful and friendly and they have a lot of local food (eggs, veggies, bread, beer, and more) and they have a great Weekly Harvest program. The only Cons are that no, you might not find every thing you're looking for and they might be a little more expensive - but a part of that is because they're not buying the bulk quantities that someplace like Schnucks or Target will. So it's a little pricey but that's the cost of supporting local, responsible businesses. read more

Local Harvest Grocery - Dogs aren't allowed... but they can dream, can't they? - Grocery Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

Let's be honest, the only reason I've been to Local Harvest is because it's walking distance from my house. Even after moving in I was hesitant it would even work out for me ever...you know, with the whole super organic twist and all. A little overboard for me. But there's one word that makes this place magical: booze. That's right, Local harvest has an amazing craft beer selection, a good amount of wine, and some unique spirits as well. Now, you're going to pay more for it here than somewhere else but convenience is king. Most items will cost anywhere between 1.5x-2x the normal price but at least you're supporting local! They even have beer that you probably can't find at Schnucks or other typical grocers. I recently discovered they carry some sour beers...mmmm sourrrr. So the moral of this story is, go in here if you haven't. I'm sure they have something you need if you live close by. But be prepared to pay the premium hippie tax. It's worth it. read more

Hey Local Harvest Grocery! I'm back to give you my thoughts. Lucky you. I know you guys are having some financial problems. You sent me the email. You asked for money from me. i give you quite a bit of my money, already. My family has been in the produce industry for six generations in the US. I have several years of service in the health food grocery industry under my belt. In college, I worked in the produce devision of a health food store for years. I know how health food stores are run. I know what it means to be a health food store shopper and customer. My favorite "me time" activity is going to the grocery store, especially a health food store, and ESPECIALLY a locally owned health food store. I know what you're doing, how you're doing it, what you are doing right, and what you are doing wrong. I think you are doing a lot of things right. I shop at your store at least once a week. I get my meats primarily at your store. Todd Geiserts pork for me and my dog, unless I am out at Greens Country Store for chicken feed, then I get it there. I get my dairy from your store. I like the Kalona brand particularly because it is only semi-pasturized and it's delicious. I might get some soap, or coffee, or artisan liquor. You know what I don't get at your store, EVER? It's your produce. I shouldn't have to explain to you why I don't buy it. But then again...if that's what you're trying to sell me, clearly you have no idea what you are doing wrong. Oh my god. Seriously. Why is all of your produce limp? Wrinkled? Soft? Placid? How many words can I described produce going bad, but still for sale? You need a produce expert. You need someone that knows what vegetables go into cold water and what goes into warm water, to perk it up. You need to peel away the outside leaves of a head of cabbage, so that it doesn't look like it's dying. Cause it is. It's DYING produce. How appealing can that be? And there's no ORGANIZATION? Clump things together that should be. Make it presentable. COME ON THIS IS YOUR LIVELIHOOD. Stop sending me emails for money and start fixing your produce. It looks awful. What local farmer would want to hand over their produce to you and say, 'I trust you to sell this.' ? I don't know who. Someone that hasn't spent months growing that crop? I have friends that live in Kirkwood, so I visited the store a couple times. Your employees there were practically idiots. Everyone that lives out in Kirkwood told me that no one could make a sandwich under 15 minutes. I like Local Harvest, so I decided to give you guys a try out there a few times. Every time, it took about 15 minutes to get someone to slice me some GOSH DARN bologna. Why would I wait that long? Oh, because it's the only local bologna I can find. So I wait. But I'm not happy about it. Other customers who WILL eat commercial bologna wouldn't wait like I would for it. I wish the best of luck to your business. I don't want to see you go under, but how could you mess up so bad? More money isn't gonna fix your problems. Someone in charge needs to do things differently. St. Louis needs you. Step up. read more

Maaaaan, I wish I was a rich South City hipster. Then I could afford to shop here. I just spent $20 on some cereal, ice cream, and juice. Seriously? Seriously. Tiny and cute and I'm all for what they're about, but Jesus Tapdancing Christ they are expensive. Plus I was a little annoyed that there was stuff that Schnuck's carries, but they tacked on a couple extra bucks just for shits and grins. The kind of place where I might discover some unique hard-to-find organic locally-made treat (the Serendipity strawberry sorbet is delicious! I wanna try that coconut ice cream next) but not to do your regular shopping. Not only is it pricey, but their selection isn't variable enough for that. But worth checking out. read more

I went here to buy to-go food because their confusingly-labeled "cafe" across the street is apparently not a "cafe" anymore, or something? Anyways, I was already confused about that experience, when we went across the street to this confusing, over-priced mini liquor store/Whole Foods/parody of a Portlandia episode about itself. Like some sort of cruel joke, I found a section of confusing, barely labeled food from the "cafe" where we had just been rejected. I asked this employee about a sandwich that was labeled "vegetarian" because I noticed one product labeled "vegan." I literally cannot have any dairy, not even stuff made around dairy, so I wanted to make sure because it seemed confusing to not label it either "vegan" (which I'm not politically a vegan, but technically I do eat a vegan diet) OR more appropriately "dairy free," if it were actually either of those things? So all I did was ask "do you know if there's dairy in the bread?" Way too much for this fella, so he went and got this woman who immediately became a total parody of herself (unintentionally, I think). So this young woman comes out of the back and is just annoyed and mono-tone and said the word "whatever" a lot. But here's the line that earned these people a one-star review: "well, I identify as vegan, and I ate one of those yesterday, so it should be fine, or whatever." Well, thanks for the diagnosis, Dr. Quinn, but I think I'll be making food at home! Okay, bad service at 8 am isn't so surprising. But how about this one? Local Harvest makes Whole Foods seem economical, with the drive time and cost included! An odd array of "local" produce seemed overpriced for its overall droopy conditions, and they had some bulk bins which seemed more like a cute decoration than an actual attempt to offer staple items for less. Let's get one thing straight: this place is a boutique liquor store, and not a grocery store (I still don't know what Local Harvest "cafe" was/is, but I imagine it sucks). There is so much cutesy-labeled beer and wine and [yes] Liquor in this place, and it really reminds me of the woman who recommended Local Harvest to me in the first place: On the surface, she's all organic and cutesy, but on the inside she's an artisinally-crafted, hand brewed, all-natural alcoholic. So, I'm sure this place is cleaning up on alcohol sales, which must be what keeps everything else afloat? Because the grocery store section of this boutique is exorbitantly over-priced. Are you at the airport? In a foreign country? At a ski resort? I don't go to those places, but I imagine them to be the only other places with prices this high. It is difficult to imagine what metrics the owners of the place have been using to price their groceries? I grew up in this neighborhood, and people here don't shop at these prices. Also, they're tossing this term "local" around very liberally. If it's crappy and it's local, it's still crappy. I'd rather A) not buy stuff or B) but stuff I must have from absolutely anywhere else. Pretentiousness you could slice and sell as "artistically-crafted local Ego wedges," this is a liquor store masquerading as the feel-good project of trust fund babies. I'm way into tattoos, and stylishly long armpit hair for all genders, and being at work but not really "working." I hope to do all of those things today! But really, this place is more palpably afraid of its goals (glamorously splattered by some bored housewife all over the walls and windows) than in any way achieving them. If you need a health-food store with supplements, nutritional and health-conscious products, go to New Dawn which is literally right up the street. That place has been there forever and is super trustworthy to tell you what they do know, and not tell you what they don't know. If you need a real-life Portlandia vignette about an artisanal 7/11, go to Local Harvest. If you need an actual 7/11, there's one up the block. If you need a "cafe," LH cannot help you in any way at all, and don't ask or they will get so totally annoyed. If you need a boutique craft beer store because you're lying to yourself about how good craft beer tastes, then you're lying to yourself, and this place is a 10/10! read more

Love the selection, especially for vegetarian fare, even though the prices are a bit steep. Wine, beer and liquors are crafty and focused on local options while the packaged foods are great too. They often have 2 vegetarian sandwiches, one which is a wrap, filled with fresh veggies, hummus and the like but my favorite, is the veggie on a pretzel bun from Companion. This is my fav to-go, cold, veggie sandwhich option. Not only is it worth a good 2 meals, it is super wrapped and even holds up to float trip conditions - which is saying allot! read more

I live a good 45 minutes away from anything remotely cool. Sometimes I like to whine about it and hope someone will take pity on me and buy me dinner or come ALL the way out to St. Peters to visit. Other times, though, I get really antsy and just can't stay put. I KNOW what's out there. I've seen the other side. I'd been itching to get to Local Harvest for some time now, seeing as how I adore farmers markets and prefer to support those in my community. That's not always possible (unless you belong to a CSA) year round, so the idea that a grocery store based on local producers is at our fingertips, well that's just a splendid idea. The place has some great products. Not all of them local, of course, but most of them nature and health minded. Things like Bob's Red Mill products, whole grain chips and crackers, good cereals. One of my local purchases was a jar of no sugar added apple butter from Centennial Farms. Another purchase, though not local but midwestern, was a phenomenal box of flax crackers from Nicole's, a company out of Chicago. There's a tiny produce section with Claverach Farms sunflower sprouts and a few other items (I went during a cold spell, after all and suspect the larder will be full in a matter of months). There are also local chocolates, lamb from Prairie Grass farms, Goatsbeard Farm goodies (I ADORE their stuff), cake breads and pastries from local shops like Black Bear, and a frozen section with all manner of healthy items tucked inside. They make sandwiches and serve coffee. It's a very tiny operation, but one I'm proud to support. read more

Love the concept, produce offering poorly executed. Local Harvest will have you believe, and there's no real reason to doubt this logic, that local means a healthier fresher product. While the selection and quality of EVERYTHING refrigerated and on the shelves is impeccable, their produce quality is extremely lacking. Totally understand and endorse local & seasonal arguments, but I am consistently horrified by the quality and price of produce that is offered. Price can be stomached if you retain quality, folks in here even on a semi-regular basis can easily justify spending more to support local, especially when it tastes better. For the love of concept, please put in a real hydration and cooling system. Myself and others would definitely frequent this place more often. Yes, this isn't whole foods, but it would be nice to walk into the store without being greeted by aged greens and wilted product. Local? Yes. Fresh? Not so much. If you don't have the resources to preserve quality, don't sell it. We all know an expanding company in a recession with three brick and mortars doesn't scream economic setback. Step it up or ditch the wilted produce. read more

In our current global situation, with tremendous amounts of pressure being put on the environment to keep our lives running smoothly, local harvest is the future of groceries. It pulls seasonal foods and packaged goods from surrounding farmers and producers. These products may cost a little more than your average grocery store, but the result is worth every penny. The items from local harvest are organic and local. Your purchase supports small scale farmers in your community who grow food the way nature intended it to be. The difference will speak for itself, may it be bread, eggs, tomatoes, beer, granola, etc. . They also sell household cleaning supplies, toiletries, beer, wine, local art, meat, etc. These goods are delicious and sustainable. read more

I want to give them 5 stars for bringing local, organic, good food to the city, but they're not quite there. Local Harvest is a great little (emphasis on little) store that carries a mostly full range of groceries. Yays: - They have a lot of local meats in their freezers, giving me some great options. - They have local beer specials almost comparable to Schnucks or Shop N Save. - Organic milk in glass bottles. Yes. - Options for local/organic cleaning supplies stocked! - They've committed to the Morgan Ford strip with two stores, and have done great work making them look nice. Nays: - Tiny. Like a postage stamp that carries groceries. Better since they moved the cafe out, but still too small to be one stop. - Very small produce and whole grain section. I'd love to see some more variety and freshness. - The checkout area is so small it requires juggling many bags. Once they move into a bigger location, which is in the works, they'll probably end up with 5 stars from me, and will become my sole grocery destination in the city. read more

LHG is a little expensive, especially for a college student like me. However, if you're into supporting local businesses, enjoy seasonal produce, or just plain like food (they always have ready-made food from their cafe across the street), it wouldn't hurt to check it out! It's a pretty small space but it's got a huge following and for good reason. When you walk in, you just feel good. There's not really a way to describe the feeling - but then again, I might be the only person that it happens to! Hahaha They have signs that say whether or not the produce was locally sourced, if it is organic...etc. I come here for my favorite local yogurt and occasionally their baked goods (which they make themselves or some of which are from local bakeries) and seasonal produce. Their produce section is relatively small but I'm always tempted to buy something. Also, despite having extremely limited funds to shop here, I NEVER feel bad about spending money here and supporting local businesses! If you do happen to check out LHG, just know that their cafe is (to me) a thouuuusand times more amazing!!! SWOON. But that's probably because while I like buying local & organic produce, nothing beats having local & organic produce that's already made for you! Mmmm.... :') read more

I only swing in Local Harvest on occasion. Mainly I'm after meats - their selection is good, local, and diverse, if a little bit expensive. I think they have an interesting liquor selection, but produce never seems top notch, and everything is (understandably) expensive. If I weren't a grad student, I'd buy more. However, I'm writing this mainly to rave about their house prepared foods. Their smoked chicken salad is the best I've ever had. And today I tried their kimchi for the first time and was blown away - better by far than Kitchen Kulture, or any of the other mass-produced varieties around. Heavy ginger and some normal cabbage, not just napa. It provides a better crunch and I ate a whole tub in a sitting. Check that stuff out. read more

It's not big. It's not cheap. But it's but for the kinds of things we buy here, it's not too expensive and it's very convenient. We go there for local cage-free eggs - which at less than $3 at dozen is cheaper than cage-free eggs at the supermarket. We also get at least two quarts of Windcrest Yogurt (made in Trenton, IL) a week, local bacon, Missouri grassfed beef and locally roasted coffee - there's a great selection and it's always fresh. Good selection of wine and beer, locally made liquers and chocolate. Sometimes you can find an exceptional bargain - check out the bottom two shelves of the bread rack - you can get Companion and Black Bear breads and bagels for half price, sometimes. A bag of organic, Missouri-grown rice (who knew they grew rice in Missouri?!) for $2. Produce is really expensive and not extensive, unfortunately. Friendly hipster staff (and I don't usually like hipsters). read more

Amazing selection of organic, grass-fed, pastured animal meats. Their organ meats are highly affordable, as well. They make their own kefir and it's delicious. I'd do all my shopping here if I lived closer. Some people argue that it's more expensive than, say, Aldi, but you are supporting a local farmer and a small business AND the environment. I love this place so much. It's just another added bonus that the employees are so nice, too! read more

I have not purchased a great deal at Local Harvest, but what I have purchased has delighted me. I love the fact that they carry local produce, dairy and meats. They do run out of inventory - especially produce and dairy quickly. I used to live in the Twin Cites, literally the Valhalla of food co-ops. I was so dismayed to note the dearth of the same in my new hometown. Local Harvest has helped me get over my nostalgia for the Twin Cities, if just a bit. read more

This joint recently made the "A-List" in St. Louis. Congrats! They use only local products and their menu is extremely unique. We came here for breakfast and ordered two bagel sandwiches - The Meister and the Lorraine. A bit on the pricey side, but justified, with what their mission is in being a local-grown kind of place. They also sell Kombucha for $4 a pop. This stuff tastes nasty, but it's a way of detoxing your body. I had a sip from my friend's and wanted to gag. But...it was an experience. read more

Very small. However, they pack it full. Even have fresh cows milk goat milk butter cheese etc.. I was in love

I'm so torn over Local Harvest. In fact, I feel a bit guilty about the three star rating. On one hand, having a business like this in the neighborhood (literally around the corner from my apartment) is a total boon. Not just the convenience factor, but that it's a neighborhood store committed to selling and promoting local (and organic) foodstuffs. It's a progressive business and a development that makes me genuinely proud of this city. Simply walking past it every day puts a massive smile on my face. At the same time, this is not the kind of place to do all your grocery shopping. It's expensive. We're talking about a good couple of bucks tacked on to the price of simple things like a Schlafly sixer, and exorbitant produce prices (and small selection) compared to even Dierbergs or Whole Foods. It's the trade-off for a commitment to organic foods and local production, but it's unfortunate that Local Harvest is at the nexus where corner shop and organic food markups converge. Coming here feels more like a treat than anything else. That said, if you're in the mood to splurge, or out to put together a truly memorable, foodie quality meal, you won't walk away disappointed. They have mega high quality local cheeses, milk, and honey that will make you flip. They stock a large variety of Missouri wines and beers, as well as interesting and organic varieties of both from around the world. They've got a fab selection of freshly roasted Goshen coffee beans -- again, not cheap, but of the highest quality. It's awesome to be able to pop around the corner in shorts, flip-flops and a t-shirt on a Sunday morning for a Naked Juice, a box of healthy cereal, Clif bars, or freshly baked bread. 50 cent day old pastries and bagels from the cafe across the street are a total steal. They've got spices, veggie burgers, some high quality frozen meat, canned soups and sauces, and just about anything you'd need if you were making a nice meal at home & forgot a couple of key ingredients but didn't want to decamp to Schnucks. Bottom line, if you appreciate neighborhood rejuvenation, high quality food products, and appreciate the locavore ethos, Local Harvest will make your heart jump for joy. But to quote Marge Simpson, "Homer, we can't afford to shop at any store that has a philosophy." That's not a knock on anyone who can, but it's the rationale behind my in-two-minds review. read more
