I've been going to STL's best "Farmer's Market" for 43 years! Long Acre Farms. Seriously! In 1979 was the first purchase of a pint of strawberries in a little paper/cardboard container and every strawberry was excellent! Long pause until years later I started going for fruits and veggies and I still go every week! They were in the Market In The Loop for years until the Market In The Loop owner kicked them out (hoping to make more money from individual other vendors :-( ), and they had to find a nearby Church parking lot on Westgate and set up their own one room fruit and veggie stand. I shop there very regularly.
