A new community produce market is set to open June 16 in The Grove neighborhood. City Greens Produce, located in the Midtown Catholic Charities building at 1202 S. Boyle Ave., will operate on Tuesdays from noon to 6 p.m. and Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. It will offer wholesale pricing on produce from the River Hills Farmers’ Market alliance in Lincoln County, Mo. (First delivery: fruit, vegetables and eggs.) Membership to City Greens, whose season will run through roughly mid-October, is $80. The fee will be used to help provide low-income families access to affordable produce. Food stamps will also be accepted. To purchase a membership or for more information, contact Ashley Getz of Catholic Charities at agetz@ccstl.org or 314.534.1180.
