THE TOWER GROVE

FARMER'S MARKET A GREAT SUCCESS

  

ARE YOU A BIONEER?

  

 

This past Saturday, May 10th, was the opening day of the Tower Grove Farmer's Market and we  were thrilled with the response to our meats. Tower Grove is definitely a friendly place to be!

 

Until our diary is completed and inspected (in late June) we can't sell our raw milk at the Farmer's Market. We will, however, continue to make our regular Sunday delivery to Maryland Heights so our customers can still enjoy our delicious raw milk. Click here for directions to our Maryland Heights delivery point.

 

Tower Grove is a new location for us this year and we are looking forward to being part of their wonderful market. To read more about Tower Grove's Farmer's market, click here.

 

SPRING / SUMMER DELIVERY SCHEDULE

 

 

In addition to the Tower Grove Farmer's Market (see above), we also make a weekly Sunday delivery of meat and milk to the Edward Jones YMCA in Maryland Heights. We meet in the parking lot of the YMCA at 1:30 PM with your order all packed and ready to go.

 

This delivery is for pre-ordered items (just call 573-762-3217 or email orders@greenwoodfarms.com during the week) and will include all of our meat and dairy items. 

 

We also make a weekly delivery to Rolla on Tuesday evenings at 5:30 at Atkinson Dental Clinic (1491 East 10th Street). For directions to the dental clinic, click here or for a map, click the box below.

ARE OUR PLASTIC MILK JUGS SAFE?
One of the top new stories in recent months has been studies that indicate the use of the chemical Bisphenol A in plastic containers may pose serious health risks to consumers. In a nutshell, BPA is an endocrine disruptor and estrogen receptor antagonist - meaning it can act like the body's own hormones. There is concern that long term low dose exposure to BPA may cause chronic toxicity in humans

BPA is found in plastic containers such as baby and water bottles, sports equipment, CDs, and resins used as coatings on the inside of some food and beverage cans and since we sell our raw milk in plastic jugs, we wanted to make sure our bottles were safe - and, happily, they are.

There are seven classes of plastics used in packaging. The packaging type is listed as a number, usually on the bottom of the item. Type 7 plastics are those made from BPA (they sometimes have PC located near the recycling symbol) and Type 3 plastics can also contain BPA. Plastics Type 1 (PET), 2(HDPE), 4(LDPE), 5 (polypropylene) and 6 (polystyrene) do not use BPA.

Here on Greenwood Farms, our recyclable plastic milk jugs are made of Type 2 (HDPE) plastic and are therefore safe for our customers to use.

THE GREENWOOD FARMS DAIRY UPDATE

As many of you may already know, raw milk producers in Missouri got great news this spring: The State of Missouri has repealed its ruling on the sale of raw milk and it is now legal for us to sell from the farm or deliver from the farm! While we are still going to break ground for our new dairy this spring, we have milk available NOW.

At this time, we will only be selling whole milk - not skim  milk, butter, or cheese. Skimming milk is too labor intensive for us at this time, and we need all the fluid milk we can spare just to fill orders. We will sell our whole milk for $10 per gallon ($5 per half-gallon) available in either one gallon or half-gallon recyclable plastic jugs. [more]
