I love this store. The food is so fresh, it's amazing! The plant selection is great and I feel the prices they charge are fair. The food inside is priced well. I saw someone else comment about buying moldy strawberries, and what I will say is that this fruit is really fresh and will mold quickly if you don't eat it immediately. Always check fruit before you buy from anywhere because produce always has a risk of mold. I like the farmer's market ambience, the handmade signs and drawn price tags etc. I've only ever met nice workers here. It's a great place. read more

Do not buy flowers from there that are way overpriced. I spent 241$ for flowers there and thought maybe they would throw in small plant or flower after that much money but no so ok. I get home and after watering and feeding the flowers, in 3 weeks they were dead. Yes I watered them just exactly like the ones I bought from Buccheits for a fraction of the price and they are beautiful, thriving, and looking so healthy. I will never again spend that much money there or buy flowers from there. I see that their produce is going sky high so don't think you will save money by going to a produce stand. I also read someone commented on their produce that they bought there and the berries on the bottom were no good. I thought I was doing the right thing going to a family owned business to super them, however I now see that my 241$ may have helped them in their business, it sure didn't help me. If you would like pictures to see the difference in my Buccheits plants that were so so much cheaper and thriving, and Richard's produce flowers... I'll be more than happy to take these to show you. I held off bc didn't want to embarrass you unless you asked for the pictures. read more

Richard's Produce - Moldy Strawberries! - Fruits & Veggies Near Me - Festus, Missouri

We've come here for the last few years to get our Christmas Tree. Not a far drive from Fenton and it's super easy to find! It's a great place! Besides the produce, they have lots of jarred goodies and candies as well! We've never left empty handed! Always a treat or two to share! Love the ornament that I got this year! read more

Moving to a small town a few years ago, I was anticipating find new places to shop and dine, one of the places I stumbled on within the first day of moving was Richard's Produce. Located on a busy thoroughfare in Festus Mo. Richards is easy to spot from the road, with its red barn building. They offer a huge selection of fruits and vegetables, at really reasonable prices. I have stopped in there on many occasions to pick up a bag of cherries, or some deliciously sweet grapes, to quench my appetite on a hot summer day. Richards also has a wide selection of plants and trees and bushes as well. Richards brings their foods in from a lot of local farmers, and they even have an organic section for those people on an "organic only" craze. Richards also has a large selection of Jelly's/ Jams and salsas for purchase, and there's enough of a variety to satisfy even the pickiest of eaters. I've purchased some of the best ears of corn producing some of the tastiest corn on the cob I've ever had, and I have yet to have any problems with the produce being bad or not tasting sweet and delicious. Richard's is open 7 days a week from 8:00 am - 6:00 pm giving every one a chance at being able to stop for their fruits and veggies needs. in the winter time, they become a Christmas tree lot and once that is over, I believe that they close for season and reopen in the springtime for the next season. The service is great, and the people working there are always friendly, and make you feel welcome and willing to return for another visit, which I do rather often. While Richards isn't the giant produce stand I dealt with while living in the big city, I do find that the old saying of "good things, come in small packages" works perfectly well when describing Richard's Produce, because this is definitely a good thing.. read more

Great staff and great place to buy a big variety of products but I paid $10 dollars for a watermelon and $5 for a bag of tortilla chips when I looked at my receipt when I got home wow read more

Always a great selection and great people, very helpful and friendly! They have the best cherries ever!

Great produce stand but could potentially be a bit more reasonably priced on goods. Overall highly recommend.

The ONLY place I will but produce! Not only do they have the best tasting, freshest fruits and vegetables, their outstanding service will keep you coming back. When they get those fresh peaches in for the first time, you can smell them from the main road, it's amazing! I absolutely love this place and so thankful to be able to buy such great produce. read more

I tried to buy 16 packs of good looking blackberries but the cashier was nice and tried to save us some money by buying cases of 8 packs each and it would be $1 per case cheaper. They were a great deal at $1 each pack or $7 per case and I expected some moldy ones, but it ended up being 4 over filled containers of moldy ones that we picked out. I called to let them know and to see about swapping the 4 containers out. But he was rude and told me I got a good deal and he didn't understand what I was complaining about. I tried to explain that I actually came out 2 short, price wise, since we saved $1 per case but had 4 bad boxes. He just kept saying I got a good deal because they run $2.50 a container normally, I know already. He was just rude and would have been satisfied with an "I'm sorry, we'll check our stock so it doesn't happen to others". Even though they say they'll replace the fruit if not happy, they obviously lie and the owner has a severe lack of customer service. Just beware. Moldy fruit has happened a few times but it's never to this degree. I was a very regular customer, but with his attitude he's lost my business. read more
