Local Food Through the Winter
I received the following email via the Tower Grover Farmers’ Market email list and thought I might not be the only one interested in this info:
Where to get your local food?
The Tower Grove Farmers’ Market will be closed for six months, but that doesn’t mean you have to give up eating local foods until then. There are several sources for local foods during the winter months, from monthly farmers’ markets to specialty stores. Here are a few:

Local Harvest Grocery, located at 3148 Morgan Ford Road, specializes in locally raised and produced foods. Many of the products at the Tower Grove Farmers’ Market and other area farmers’ markets can be found at the store plus hundreds of other local foods. In addition, the store also stocks a wide range of sustainably produced and organic dairy, grocery and baked goods and has a full service deli serving breakfast and lunch using local ingredients.The store sends out a weekly newsletter with specials and product news. You can sign up for it here. |

Other Locations
Local foods are catching on and they are starting to show up in more and more stores and restaurants. Wherever you choose to shop and dine, we encourage you to choose local when possible. Making this choice helps the environment, our rural landscape and the local economy. It can also be healthier and it almost always tastes better.
