Thanks to Mother Nature, as well as our hard working farmers at Dry Dock Farms and the International Institute here in St. Louis, the fresh stuff is already coming our way! 

If you aren't aware, we are now getting some produce from the International Institute. That means that an urban garden is growing food naturally, without the aid of chemicals, and selling them to an urban market. This is what eating locally is all about! Bringing healthy, fresh food into the community, and look how little distance it has to travel before it ends up on YOUR table. 

Based on conversations with our farmers, this is what I expect us to have on Thursday:

-Asparagus

-Kale

-Collards

-Herbs

-Heads of lettuce

-Beet Greens

-Heads of romaine

-Swiss Chard

-Wavy Green Kale

-Green onions

Of course our freezer will be stocked with meat... time to get the grill going if you haven't already. And plenty of canned goods, jellies and jams!

Hope to see you between 11-5 on Thursday!

The sun will come out... TODAY!

Hello, City Greeners!


Market will be open tomorrow, Thursday, from 11-5! As is the same every week, I won't know exactly what we'll be getting until it arrives in the morning. But I will try to give you some idea of what should come in so you can plan accordingly. We're hoping to have:


Green onions
Swiss Chard
Kale
Asian Greens
Salad Mix
Heads of lettuce


As always, you can rest assured that our produce is as fresh as possible and has been grown naturally without the use of chemicals, pesticides, etc. 


NEW THIS WEEK:


Black Beans! Grown naturally at Bellews Creek Farm in Hillsboro, MO

REASONS TO EAT BLACK BEANS:


I came across this website which has some great information on the health benefits of eating black beans- take a look if you have some time http://whfoods.org/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=2 


If you don't, here's the summary:


-High in protein
-No sodium
-High in antioxidants
-High in Fiber

-Rich in Molybdenum (helps break down sulfites found in food)

-High in folate

-MAY assist in weight loss

We will have a fresh assortment of our Jellies and Jams, as well as a meat fridge stocked with all of our tasty pork products and grass-fed, free-range ground beef! We hope to see you this Thursday if you have the chance :)

City Greens Produce... Open Thursday from 11-5!

Hello Loyal Shoppers!

As always, thanks for your dedication to our market. The winter version of City Greens has remained as busy as we were in the Spring and Summer, and it is YOUR support that is allowing us to continue supplying healthy, local produce to a community that truly needs it. Thanks :)

Our meat fridge is fully stocked this week! All of our staple pork products are in, including bacon, brats, Italian and Andouille Sausage, ground pork, pork sausage, ham steaks, and pork chops. Have you tried our grass-fed, grass-finished ground beef? If not, the returns have been very positive- so now is the week. At 4.50/lb., for that type of quality meat, it's hard to beat! ** We will have our Amish raised chickens in NEXT
WEEK**


NEW THIS WEEK: Not necessarily new, but back from a hiatus... BROWN RICE (non-GMO)... WHEATBERRIES... and our very popular WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR. Come early and snag some large TURNIPS for something fresh this week, as well as SHIITAKE and OYSTER mushrooms! And yes, still got some squash for ya... more spaghetti squash... And plenty of eggs to feed you and your family.

We have a fresh stock of our organic, fresh pastas in from Mangia Pasta. Buy some Marcoot Jersey Creamery cheese to go along with it and make a City Greens Mac 'n Cheese!

What can I do with wheat berries you might ask? How about taking that, along with City Greens organic pecans, and making this tasty looking dish:

(from drgrandmasrecipes.com):


If your parsley is multiplying wildly like mine this is a delicious healthy way to take advantage of that – or just purchase it at the market; it’s fairly inexpensive. Your Mediterranean kitchen will be emitting aromas that will draw hungry appetites. If you want to make this recipe serve more, just add more wheat berries; it will work nicely with up to double the wheat berries. This recipe serves as a vegetable serving, starch serving, and a protein serving; and it has a very nice flavor. You can use the pesto with pasta, fish, breads, crackers or vegetables – be creative.

Ingredients:

2 cups cooked wheat berries or See directions below.
3 cups water if wheat berries are not already cooked.
¾ cup pecans
2 cups parsley (packed)
1/3 cup grated Parmesan
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon salt, or as desired
1 tablespoon minced garlic

Directions:

If you don’t have cooked refrigerated or frozen wheat berries, cook 1 ¼ cup raw wheat berries in 3 cups water for about an hour to 1 ¼ hour, until desired tenderness. Toast pecans in a skillet, until just beginning to brown. Combine all ingredients except wheat berries in a food processor: process until smooth. Stir wheat berries and pesto together and carefully heat over a low heat in a saucepan or in a covered casserole dish in the microwave – the microwave is an easier method.

FYI- Wheat berries are excellent providers of dietary fiber. The nutrients are left untouched since they are not processed and provide us with folic acid, protein, B-complex vitamins and vitamin E. The wheat grass acts as a cleanser and is rich in Vit.A,B, C and E along with other minerals. It is supposed to have anti-aging capabilities. 


Come in and check out our pancake recipe using our whole wheat flour!


We hope to see you at City Greens on THURSDAY from 11-5!!!!

60's in February? Come celebrate!

Come early if possible, and celebrate these unseasonably warm temperatures by purchasing some FRESH GREENS! Surely this greens will not last long, but we do have bags of spinach, kohlrabi (just 3 bags), and swiss chard. We also have some more of those colorful carrots, as well as SPAGHETTI SQUASH. All the regular items are in as well, so we hope you'll join us between 11-5 :)

Thursday... City Greens Day!

Hello Shoppers!

Did you get a chance to try our rainbow colored carrots last week?? If not, give them a chance today!

Oh and by the way, Purple and Red are the original carrot colours, the orange not taking hold until the 16th century when the Dutch created a carrot in honour of their royal family, the House of Orange.


Read more: http://cookalmostanything.blogspot.com/2008/02/weekend-herb-blogging-121.html#ixzz1ka8d47au

We also have some fresh, locally grown mushrooms- oysters and shiitake. 

Our meat freezer is pretty well stocked, including bacon, pork chops, brats, pork sausage (breakfast sausage), ground pork, and more. We also have ground beef this week, but as always the earlier you can come, the more plentiful the selection will be!

And, as usual, our canned staples are in as well... including the return of Freddie Lee James Ghetto Sauce (a BBQ for all occasions)...

Hope we see you in the market today!

Carnivors, Rejoice!

Well folks, it's going to be a meat heavy market this week. To begin the day, we will have chickens ($3.00/lb.), ground beef, and all of our staple pork products- including plenty of bacon.

We will also have our EGGS of course, and some fresh mushrooms from Ozark Forest Mushroom. How about an omelette with Marcoot Jersey Creamery cheese and mushrooms?

All of our other staples are in, including a fresh shipment of Grandma's Nuts- a healthy snacking alternative!

Please join us today from 11-5!

Thanks.

First Snow of the Year!

Good Morning, City Greeners!

As we can all see, winter has decided to show up this morning. Our dedicated farmers have to make the trip from Silex, MO, and will do their best to show up around NOON. With that said, the opening of our market will be pushed back to NOON.

Our farmers will be bringing in two kinds of greens, radishes, squash, and possibly a few other fresh items (as well as the best eggs in Missouri, of course).

MUCH THANKS TO THE GREAT PEOPLE OF DRY DOCK FARM!!!!

We have a freezer full of pork producs (including plenty of bacon!) and tasty soups. You will also find pecans, walnuts (NEW PRODUCT!), organic popcorn, mushrooms (OYSTER and SHIITAKE- locally grown! Thanks Ozark Forest Mushrooms)

Also some fresh cheese, pasta, rice, coffees- AND MORE!

If you do decide to make the trip today, PLEASE exercise caution and take your time.

Enjoy our first snow of the year, and be safe!
