May 2017

Happy Memorial Day! We'll be Open!

Local Harvest will be open our regular hours, 8 AM to 8 PM, on Memorial Day. Stop in any time this weekend to stock up on all your cookout supplies: Rockwood Charcoal; cherry smoker wood from Such & Such Farm; pasture-raised ground beef, hot dogs, and brats; local beer and wine; organic melons, local tomatoes, and more!

Join Weekly Harvest, Our Year-Round CSA

We make it easy to eat local! Join our Weekly Harvest CSA and get a hand-selected box of local produce and goods every week. Each share features a local, pasture-raised meat or vegetarian alternative, local and organic produce, free-range eggs every other week, and a monthly rotation of coffee/tea, local grains, and local dairy.

Don't know how to cook with kohlrabi? Hate the idea of food going to waste? Don't worry, we send out a weekly newsletter with recipes and storage tips to help you strategize and plan your meals. We also offer a 10% discount on additional groceries when you pick up your share (excluding alcohol).

Choose your options: omnivore or vegetarian, coffee or tea, weekly or biweekly pick ups, and your pick up day: after 2 PM Friday, any time Sunday, any time Monday, or Monday delivery (for an additional $5, to a limited area).

Visit the Weekly Harvest website or Facebook Page, or email Becca at weeklyharvest8@gmail.com for more information!

Product Spotlight: Fred & Ricky's

We recently partnered with Fred & Ricky's to keep our grab-and-go cooler stocked with delicious, vegan meals. Based in West County, Fred & Ricky's specializes in plant-based, healthy cooking, focusing on local and organic ingredients. Offerings include lasagna, enchiladas, black bean burgers, jackfruit barbecue sandwiches, "just kidding" queso, and more (all 100% vegan). Don't forget a fudgy vegan brownie or gluten-free cookie for dessert!

Don't worry, omnivores! We will continue to carry prepared foods from Seed Sprout Spoon (formerly Local Harvest Cafe) when available. Their offerings include hummus, chicken wings, chili, wraps, and salads.

Bicycle Benefits

Bicycle Benefits makes your bike ride even more worthwhile! Purchase a helmet sticker for $5 (available at Local Harvest), then bike around town to collect all the deals!

With a Bicycle Benefits helmet sticker customers who bike to Local Harvest will receive a 10% discount on all their grocery purchases, excluding alcohol.

See the other participating locations around town and plan your next bike ride by following Bicycle Benefits St. Louis on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Double Up Food Bucks Continues

The popular Double Up Food Bucks program is still ongoing! Customers with SNAP/EBT Food Stamps may purchase local produce at regular price and receive a voucher for the same amount to spend on any local or non-local produce here at Local Harvest Grocery.

Local produce in our store is labelled with a green "local" tag, while non-local produce is presented with a white tag. Feel free to ask any employee for more information on the program.
