Metro in St. Louis has announced that, beginning the week of March 18, four of its transit centers will host weekly farmers markets featuring locally grown farm foods. The facilities—North Hanley in St. Louis County; Riverview-Hall and Delmar, both in St. Louis; and Emerson Park in East St. Louis—are located in areas where nearby residents have little or no access to fresh fruits and vegetables, according to Metro.

Metro has entered into a partnership with the Sappington Farmers Market’s “Farm to Family Naturally Program” to bring the “Farm to Family Mobile Market”—a community initiative program launched by the Sappington market—to the four transit centers. The market will sell locally produced foods such as eggs, vegetables, fruits, and value-added items like jams and jellies under the brand name of Farm to Family Naturally.
