Time for Spring Cleaning!

We are pleased to carry the full line of eco-friendly cleaning supplies from Better Life. Using plant-derived ingredients, these all-natural products are biodegradable, non-toxic, and never tested on animals. They're also packaged using solar power!

Want to go a step further in greening your cleaning routine? We offer many of Better Life's cleaning products in bulk! Bring in your own container, have us weigh it while it's empty, then fill with as much as you need. It's ecological and economical.

Learn more about Better Life, a St. Louis company featured on Shark Tank, on their website and social media platforms.

The Secret's Out: Secret Stash Coffees Just In

Be the first to try new Secret Stash coffees from Goshen Coffee Co. Our first offerings come from three separate farms in Honduras- Santa Elena, La Melanguera, and La Lesquinada. These single-origin, farm-direct beans are roasted to perfection by Goshen in Edwardsville, and brought to our store every Wednesday.

Buying direct-trade means the farmers retain all of the proceeds of the sale without making cuts to a middle man- one step above fair-trade. It's our method of choice when it comes to buying local!

Now With More Local Fish!

New this week! Local tilapia fillets. Sustainably raised and processed in Missouri, these give "sustainable seafood" a whole new meaning. Don't forget, we also have Troutdale Farm trout fillets and two offerings from Wild Alaska Salmon & Seafood- salmon and black cod.

Bicycle Benefits

Local Harvest Grocery has teamed up with the Bicycle Benefits program to reward customers who bike to our store!

With a Bicycle Benefits helmet sticker (available for purchase for $5), customers who bike to Local Harvest will receive a 10% discount on their grocery purchase, 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.

The Double Up Food Bucks program is looking for volunteers for its Citizen Advisory Board. More info can be found on the Double Up Food Bucks website or this application.
