It's been Massey's Produce since 2015 but before that it was Grayson's and before that Art's for…read moredecades. With each successive owner the produce selection has become a bit less. However, Massey's still offers a fresh assortment of veggies and fruits typical in Midwestern pantries. Massey's also carries fresh milk and eggs, plus an assortment of local honey and James and jellies. Potted flowers, pumpkins, straw, and other decor items are stocked seasonally. Saturday mornings can be busy but weekdays it's easy to get in an out.

All items are hand picked by the owner and priced well below grocery stores or Walmart. I go here at least 3 times a week and I recommend you do the same. The owner also supports local schools through fruit donations. Overall, I highly recommend it.

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.

Everyone is friendly and prices are very reasonable. I really liked Crowe's Crafty Corner. She has seasonal garden flags and handmade crafts plus items like matching trivets & towels themed for fall or Halloween. Very low prices. There was a tent with a very cute blue pick up truck and I don't remember the name of it, I'm sorry, but they had a large selection of mums and some were absolutely gigantic. Excellent options. I noticed only one or two vegetable stands and one stand selling local meats.

The boys love to pull their own apples off! Prices are fair, and it's definitely worth it if you want to make homemade apple sauce or pie. They have delicious fresh apple cider, and apple donuts, near their shop. They're a must try! Plenty of things for kids to do - farm animals to look at, bounce houses, slides, corn bins to play in. Unlimited fun, the kids never want to leave. Highly recommend, especially if you have little ones!

The best family owned and ran grocery market in the west!…read more This small yet very mighty market is the best place to pick up the freshest produce and seafood. On Manchester you will see that red roof and you must stop in to get farm fresh tomatoes, apples, peppers, berries, zucchini, and more! They have a fantastic farm egg selection that was $1 a dozen once! We love their royal red shrimp and octopus selections! And be sure to check them out during crawfish season for their amazing boils! We sat on their patio and had a delicious meal! They also will boil anything you buy in store too. I think they said they were going to do a fish fry and lobster roll event soon too! I will keep supporting this local business each time.

Had the opportunity to visit Shirks Country Market in Centertown, MO, and this is hands-down one of…read moremy favorite stops whenever I'm in the area! First and foremost, the deli here is nothing short of amazing. I always get the BLT, and it never disappoints. The bacon tastes incredibly fresh, and the produce on it is just as fresh. I also love to add their jalapeño cheddar cheese--so flavorful! A few jalapeños for an extra kick, and it's perfect. Another highlight for me is the bakery. The service is great and their banana bread is one of my absolute favorites--moist, tasty, and often fresh out of the oven. This market has so much to offer: * Fresh produce * Bagged candy, all packaged neatly with an Amish-style retail vibe * A variety of unique items to explore Next door, there's even a plant shop with a beautiful selection of plants, adding to the charm of this spot. The parking lot is huge, making it easy to stop by. It's handicap accessible, so there's nothing to worry about when it comes to accessibility. All in all, this place is a gem, and I truly love stopping by every chance I get!

Peanut butter pie was so good! The peanut butter part was light and creamy and the crust is always good in their pies! They're all always very nice, friendly and helpful, and I just love going in there. I wasn't sure if the deli would be open when I got there at 8:30, but they open at 8 with the store, so I was very happy about that.

I was a fervent Root Cellar-er when they were under the old owners and when they were located on…read moreBroadway (more on that later), but now it's on a whole 'nother level. No, literally, they have more than one level to the store. What's going on? Why can't they just stay in that basement place and call it good? Well, this new venue is bigger, and the old owner(s) also owned the Broadway Brewery, and the rumor is they are going to expand that restaurant into the basement place where they old Root Cellar was located. Plus, this new place has much more panache, and since the new downtown farmer's market started on Sundays, this new location hooks them into that whole casbah (or would it be a souk?). Anyhow, there are things in the works. Some of the things in the works: Free wi-fi for the internet deficient. There is a loading dock that they want to turn into a stage for live music acts, and the audience can hunker down in the parking lot and listen al fresco. They've already installed a cooler in the loading dock deck, where they might start stocking beer and wine and such. I told them to install some old speakers and a turntable and an amp, and I would provide a mess of vinyl, and that would attract the neo-retro folks who dig that stuff. Who knows. From the loading dock deck, you can saunter down a few stairs into a long room with a huge wooden bar, end-capped with a deli counter. So the plan is, to have sandwiches and stuff, as well as coffee, tea, etc. Perhaps they will give Uprise a run for their money? I say they should aim for a different consumer niche, since Uprise has pretty much locked-in the hipster crowd, they need to go for the blue collar crowd who appreciate all that local food/music stuff. Who knows? This could usher in a critical mass for the new North Village Arts District. Maybe it will give the "District" a run for their money. The "District" being the semi-mafioso oligarchs who control the downtown area, and who took out the benches from the sidewalks because unseemly folks were sitting in them. I guess they installed them, so they can take them out, but geez, it sounds a little draconian. For all I know the NVA District folks will do the same thing, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. Anyhow, here is a good article on their moving, and some nice photos: http://www.columbiamissourian.com/stories/2011/06/20/root-cellar-moves-north-village-arts-district/ In addition, they have a CSA, where you can get a box of local veggies and fruits and stuff for like $30 or so. They give you a little print out with info on where everything came from, and some recipes that include some of the foods. You pay by the week, but to guarantee a box, you should sign up. The new owners are real nice, and if you are looking for suggestions on what is good or interesting, they are very helpful.
