The mission of Slow Food St. Louis is to promote good, clean, fair food for all. That is why we are a proud supporter of Known & Grown STL, sharing our commitment to improving our local food system.  Known & Grown promotes and supports the work of local food producers and retailers by educating consumers about their practices and products.

View a complete list of Known & Grown standards here.

Supporting our local food system helps farmers financially while feeding your family safe food. Local food has traveled less distance and is touched by less hands than commercially farmed products. You can help build a more resilient food system by participating in it, one bunch of kale at a time.

Known & Grown STL created a central database where you can see what farmers offer online ordering and where to get local, Known & Grown STL farmers’ products. This document will be updated regularly to stay as accurate as possible.

Consider shopping from markets that source from Known & Grown farmers, like: Local Harvest Grocery, City Greens Market, Mac’s Local Eats, Old North Provisions, and Tale To Table. Other ways to support farmers while receiving safe, healthy, local food is to join a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture program). We suggest Fair Shares CCSA or Local Harvest’s CSA.
