Soulard Market

I know you know, but do you go? Looking for something for a good, quick dinner, but don't feel like running out to the supermarket? Why not give Soulard Market a try?

I takes a little bit of effort, but in less than 30 minutes you can have enough fresh fruit and vegetables to have a nice dinner.






Five dollars will get you a decent amount of food. The picture you see to the left is seven dollars worth of food. (The asparagus was an extra two dollars) I'm sure there are better bargains if you want to hunt, but for me, the experience is strolling up and down the market looking for what looks best. Be aware that not all of the fruit and vegetables are grown in the area, but there are local farmers selling local and organic produce.

Saturdays get crowded, but all the weekday afternoons I've gone, have been pleasant, and in no way hurried.

Take the scooter; it will give you a destination, and help save on gas.

Soulard Market is open Wed. - Fri. 8:00 - 5:00 and Sat. 6:00 - 5:00
