I love City Greens and its mission to serve the underserved and support farmers in MO/IL.

Fresh grown turmeric, varieties of squash, potatoes, have caused me to expand my palate and encourages me to eat a rainbow of foods for healthy gut microbiome. They offer free vegetables that are on the brink of spoiling, but still serviceable for broth or soup. I have supported City Greens since its inception and it has blossomed into a food lovers paradise!

This market is an absolute treasure. By shopping here, you not only get fantastic produce from…read morelocal farms and vendors, but you help your community in doing so. It's very affordable compared to similar local/organic markets in the area as well, even if you don't have a membership (which I highly recommend purchasing). You get so much bang for your membership buck, and you keep everyone's prices down too! The selection isn't huge, but you have all of your staples as well as some extra goodies available. I love their meat and poultry selection in particular. The free range chicken breasts they have are the most tender and flavorful I've ever purchased! Never buying meat from Aldi again. Also, shoutout to the incredible fresh herbs they grow themselves! Although you generally have to schedule pickup a week or so out during this COVID period, City Greens' curbside shopping process is easy and felt extremely safe. You just fill out a form online, then show up to pay and pick up. You only interact with one staff members, there are no other customers during your pickup slot, and everyone is in proper PPE. I cannot wait to shop here regularly in person!

They have two buildings you can enter and it wasn't explicit where to go but it's not a huge space to navigate. I took the 102 class and overall i enjoyed it. They gave all the materials, had sewing machines for you to use and the space itself is spacious. I did feel like the teacher wasn't sure how to support multiple people who had questions, it felt like she thought people knew much more on their own than we did. She was kind and offered lots of support I do plan to come back and finish out my gift card but I'm not sure if I would continue to come back after
