Long Acres Farm

Great place for a variety of fresh produce.
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, jalapeño 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.

Ah-​Mazing. Prices that rival soulard market and is in walking distance. The people are kind and thoughtful. Always a great attitude.

AWESOME place to find fresh veggies from Thurs-​Sat. The guys/​gals are so helpful and they can be quite humorous and good-​natured; very important if you’re taking your time looking at all the vegetables and fruits. hey, i take my own pretty time. this last week, i was able to get corn (3 for $ 1, and apparently passed the mom’s test when she tasted them), green peppers (big ones for 2 for $ 1), rather large bunches of garlic (3 for $ 1), large cucumbers (2 for $ 1), and lemons (5 for $ 1). i was bummed because they sold out of red onions (i went in early Fri. afternoon) and sometimes the chalk writing above the stalls can be too smudged to read; ergo, the 4-​star rating. don’t worry: i’m sure i’ll upgrade to 5 when they ALWAYS have what i need!
alerted by one of the guys, they try to buy locally from farmers as best as they can, a (+) for me. suggestion: bring your own reusable bags, so it saves on using the skimpy brown bags provided, it’s easier to gather your buys, and it’s more gentle on the environment!
