During my lunch break today, I stopped in at the (newly reopened) Collinsville Farmers Market and…read moreso glad I did. Wow, the place looks great after being remodeled. Clean atmosphere, quick service, super friendly staff, ample parking and conveniently located. They have a large selection of seasonal items - pumpkins of all sizes and the most beautiful mums. Homemade, ready to eat items in the cooler - salsa, fruit salad, cucumber salad, coleslaw, and pasta salad. Great selection of deli meats and cheeses. Along with Million Dollar Pickles (reasonable priced at $5 bucks), candies, and seasonings. Plus all the essentials - milk, eggs, bread and of course fresh fruits and veggies at good prices. Bonus... locally owned and operated for over 45 years.

Love the prices. We bought a lot of canning tomatoes for dirt cheap. Yes, they were not the…read moreprettiest things, but they were good and after cutting away the damaged parts we still made a lot of canned tomato products for way cheaper than a regular grocery store.

Disappointed last year and again this year. They advertised their peach and blackberry picking, but…read moreall the peaches were tiny, rock hard, and sour. Blackberries were also very acidic. Gave them another chance this year because they're not too far away, but what a waste of time. Blacklisted them forever.

This was my first time stopping at Market Basket. I saw a TikTok about their chicken Parm sandwich…read moreand I had no idea they even had a deli counter that serves hot food. It was pretty busy and everyone working in the deli was hustling to get orders out. One of the other customers told me it was BBQ day and strongly recommend the BBQ, but I had my heart set on the chicken Parmesan sandwich. The staff was friendly and helpful after I told them I was a first timer. I picked the banana pudding as the side. I got my order after a few minutes and went toy car to eat. The chicken parm was hot and fresh. The chicken was cooked well with a good outer crust. The sauce was good and there was plenty of cheese. The bread was awesome. Soft on the outside and had a good toasted crisp on the inside. The banana pudding was great. Full of banana flavor, whipped cream and a vanilla wafer. All of that for $8.00, too! I will definitely return and try some of the other items!

This place is truly a 4.5 star place out of five but I will give it five stars to give it the…read morebenefit of the doubt. This place is close to the highway and I figured it was not too far off from my drive to St louis. This place had a great selection of health food items, snacks, drinks and speciality items that I am obsessed about. The restaurants were pretty clean, the shelves were well stocked and I found so many things that I can't even find back home. The one thing I will give it a con about and it could be just me but I do wish there were more grab and go items like pre-made sandwiches. They had an incredible selection of grab and go drinks. They have incense sticks which is absolutely cool! Regardless there's a cool stores and walk this is too . Overall, I thought this was a very impressive store to check out!

Great little store for the health conscious featuring lots of organic choices and important…read moresupplements. I found that they carry two of my favorites - Alden's Organic Ice Cream and Prima Ancestral Protein Bars. In case you don't know, Alden's Organic is an Oregon-based brand specializing in certified organic ice cream and frozen desserts. it emphasizes high-quality, organic ingredients while avoiding artificial additives, high-fructose corn syrup, and other common conventional ice cream components. Their products use milk and cream from humanely raised cows, and many are gluten-free or offer dairy-free options. Prima Ancestral Protein Bars are animal-based protein bars designed around "ancestral" or nose-to-tail, real-food nutrition principles. They focus on grass-fed ingredients, avoiding seed oils, artificial additives, refined sugars, and ultra-processed isolates common in many protein bars. Popular options include: Cookie Dough, Salted Caramel (my favorite), Cacao, Mocha, and Mint Chip. This is (IMHO) the best protein bar one can buy. So now that I've totally convinced you on purchasing these two great (and good for your body) products, I'll continue with my review. Along with these two great finds, I purchased some Organic Brazil Nuts, Organic Sourdough Bread, and a couple of Zum Bar goats milk soap (frankincense and myrrh, tyvm). If you've never tried a Zum Bar you really should. Friendly employees and a comfortable family atmosphere store made for a very pleasant and enjoyable shopping experience. I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area.

It gets crowded on the weekends. If you try and stagger the time that you go, it may not be as busy. Parking is meter/paid parking, but you may luck up and find free parking. It's a must if you are ever visiting STL or if you simply want to go to the farmers market!! I love going to the Soulard spice shop. It is one of my favourites.I have a few preferred produce stands i love going to for fresh fruits and vegetables. And don't forget about the flower shop.

Review Title: 4 Easy steps to 52 Saturdays of CONTROLLED CHAOS!…read more The MUST-DO thing for all St. Louis'ians and Non-St. Louis'ians. But you gotta do it right! Step 1: Schedule a Saturday off to yourself (yes, the Market's open Wed-Sat, but you get 100% vendorship on Saturdays) Step 2: Set your alarm clock EARLY! The trick is the "when" do you get there? Wait til the later hours of the day.. and every shop will be empty that you went for! I've learned this too many times in my sleep-in days, to get there way too late to find so many of the shops sold out, or the "runts" of the sales left. So figure out Early and then getup before then! Step 3: Get in your car and go shopping!!! (Follow the map of course!) Plain and simple you want fresh produce.. this is where you go. Whether it's veggies,. meats, baked goods, coffee, soaps, sweets, snacks, and even alchy beverages if you so desire! (and you just might as the day goes on) Get there early and load up! (Just warning you, you may have to make a few runs between your shops and your car, considering what you -could- load up on. Now as stated by many, it's a smorgasboard of what you can find, all along the entire market. (but just a word of advice, whatever you buy at the market, please clean and store PROPERLY as soon as you get home, this is a farmer's market and you can lose some fresh produce REALLY QUICK!) And just remember you're going to have to fight your way through the crowds. because EVERYONE and their relative knows to come here. (Picture yourself in a demolition derby with everyone.. cause that's what it's going to feel llike... Controlled Chaos! **See I knew I'd fit the title in here somewhere*) I will admit you there are some vendors that sell the usual "touristy wares" on occasion, such as "gold jewelry", Sports uniforms (Battlehawks, Cardinals, Blues), you know the quick .. touristy stuff. But the real value is the food and the food 'trucks', including BBQ , New Orleans style cuisine, mediterranean.. you know everything you can find at a farmer's market :) STEP 4: And to top off the day. a real daiquiri or bloody mary to seal the deal! And there you have it folks... 4 steps to a Controlled Chaos of a Saturday in the Lou!!

The quality of product we get through deliveries is very poor. The way they stack palle.t is…read moreridiculous also, they stack heavy items such as potatoes and onions on top of lighter product such as tomatoes on the bottom. There has been countless squashed product and mispicked items. They also send items there were not even originally ordered. Poor quality, poor organization, and poor overall service. Every complaint made has gone right over their heads and has not been solved whatsoever. They also made sure to make a system to where every time we order, we are guessing because they want us to order a day earlier. So the entire process is just a giant guessing game where they get to to do whatever they want. Do not use this company

Great place for a variety of fresh produce…read more I got huge, red tomatoes, last Thursday, August 6. My girlfriend got half a watermelon and tomatoes. Also available: cucumbers, zucchini, yellow squash, peaches, radishes, cauliflower, plums, celery, cantaloupe, green beans, eggplant, garlic, jalapeno peppers. Much, much more. I don't know any place where you can get half a seedless watermelon. But they had a half ready for my girlfriend -- all wrapped up -- and it was beautiful. It comes from Sikeston. The folks are so friendly and personable, as are the patrons. The address is Delmar, but the open-air market is really behind the shops on Delmar along the huge parking lot that spans east from Cicero's for a couple blocks. It's adjacent to Midtown Farmers Market.
