New Blog Series "Vendor Profile"

Hello Everyone!!!

The North City Farmers’ Market has been going strong for thirteen weeks now and we are excited for the time remaining! For much of the summer we have enjoyed great musical acts and increasing new customers to the market. We hope to continue this success in September and October.  In addition to changing seasons, we are excited to unveil a new series on our blog site titled “Vendor Profile.”

“Vendor Profile” will be a series of blog posts that specifically describes and informs readers about our wonderful vendors at North City Farmers’ Market. A huge part of our success at the market is due to loyal vendors who contribute to our mission of improving community health in Old North. We hope “Vendor Profile” can provide insightful information about some of the popular merchants while also attracting new customers to the market!

Check out our first “Vendor Profile” which features Mr. Willie Macklin of DM Farms.

Be sure to check out our blog frequently for more updates and new profiles!

Tomato or Tomatoe?

Hi everyone! 

Our kids had a blast this week with our free summer kids' activities! On Wednesday, we partnered up with the Northside Workshop for a fun and easy arts and craft activity. We made planters out of recycled materials. On top of that each child was given a free admission pass to the St. Louis Magic House! What a great way to end the day! I encourage you if you have not already to bring your children out to the festivities! Our last week of activities will be next week. 
If you have any questions, feel free to contact the office (314) 241-5031
On to the tasty things...We've been seeing a lot of red at the market lately. I wonder if anyone knows what I'm talking about. You guessed right. Tomatoes! Yummy. I remember when my grandma would slice me up some fresh tomatoes and sprinkle it with a dash of salt and pepper. I loved it! Then, as I got older and realized that they came in the size of grapes, Oh boy!!
