With Stores Gone, Farmers Market To Fill Void In North St. Louis Food Desert [View all]
When several Shop ‘N Save grocery stores closed last year in north St. Louis, residents in some neighborhoods were left without easy access to healthy produce.
A local nonprofit organization, A Red Circle, aims to fill the void with a monthly community farmers market that does more than just sell fresh food.
“It’s going to be a very cool farmers market with a purpose,” Red Circle founder and CEO Erica Williams said.
The Red Circle Healthy Community Market will kick off today at Zion Travelers Missionary Baptist Church in Riverview. Organizers plan to hold the market every last Saturday of the month through the end of summer.
