The Solar Eclipse is Coming!

Local Harvest Grocery will close temporarily on Monday, August 21 from 11:30 AM to 2:30 PM so our staff may enjoy the solar eclipse.

Come in and grab your last minute eclipse essentials this weekend or Monday morning before we close! We don't have eclipse glasses for sale, but we do have plenty of things to perfect your afternoon outing, including boxed wine, all-natural sunscreen and bug spray, and Schlafly's Helles Lager, St. Louis' official beer of the eclipse.

Product Spotlight: VB Chocolates

We are now carrying hand-made, artisanal chocolates and ice creams from VB Chocolates, in Cottleville, MO. Try their chocolate covered almonds, s'mores, caramels, truffles, turtles, barks, and their signature VB Bar, a homemade take on a commercial Snicker's bar. Ice cream flavors include gooey butter cake and iced coffee-bourbon-cocoa nib.

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.

Weekly Harvest runs year-round and does not require a long term commitment or prepayment.

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 [email protected] for more information!

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!

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.
