Ozark Forest Mushroom Farm
Typically, when you think of a farm it's wide open spaces --but there is always an exception, and this farm is exceptional indeed. As an ancient forest protected by the Missouri Department of Conservation, it's the perfect place to grow organic gourmet shittake mushrooms using traditional Japanese methods.

You don't have to run out to Salem, Missouri to enjoy these delicacies. They are served in fine St. Louis restaurants, or you can have some delivered to your home.

Riverbend Roots Farm, CSA
How It Works:
You pay a “share” of our annual budget in return for a share of the farm’s seasonal harvests, thereby becoming a member of the farm. Your membership is an investment in the farm for a full year and gives you access to the best selection of locally-grown, hand-picked produce at the most affordable price.

Farm members receive a weekly supply of fresh, hand-picked vegetables at their peak of flavor, nutrition and eating quality. A weekly “share” contains from 8 to 12 different vegetables. One vegetable might be a head of lettuce, a bunch of radishes, 10 tomatoes, or a pound of carrots. (See What We Grow for a more complete list). We grow up to 60 types of vegetables and select hundreds of the best varieties based on flavor and quality rather than shelf-life and uniformity.
