Tower Grove’s Farmer’s Market….
I. Love. This. Market.
Heck, I just love Farmer’s Markets. They make me happy.
If you haven’t been to Tower Grove Park’s Farmer’s Market….go! Honestly, when I started spending more time in the city a few years ago, this was a #1 destination and it never disappoints. It’s part of what drew me to move from St. Charles County to where I live now near Lafayette Square. That’s how much I love this great Farmer’s Market.
The Tower Grove Park’s Farmers’ Market launched in 2006 with a phenomenal amount of community support. Since then that support has only grown and the market has gone from hosting 13 vendors per week in 2006 to over 60 per week in 2020. What started as a way for co-founders Patrick Horine and Jennifer Ryan to give back to the Tower Grove neighborhood they had fallen in love with has turned into a bustling community event and the largest farmers’ market in the St. Louis region.
I love the Saturday Market from 8:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Tower Grove Park. But there are also some other great Markets:
- Tuesdays from 4:00 p.m. to sunset at Tower Grove Park
- Thursdays from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. at Rockwell Beer Garden in Francis Park (man, I love this park, too)
- Saturdays from 8:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Tower Grove Park
- Sundays from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at The Boulevard in Richmond Heights
- Wednesdays thru Saturdays from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at Soulard Farmer’s Market
Tower Grove Park!
I cannot say enough about these wonderful markets that bring fresh food, flowers and more to one spot. Supporting local farmers, vendors and businesses is what it’s all about. And you’ll experience a great feeling of community. People are just happier at a Farmer’s Market! Be sure and make plans to head to Tower Grove Park this weekend….and all summer long. You won’t be sorry. See you there!
