Visiting Soulard Farmers Market

About Soulard Farmers Market

A market has stood on this site since the 18th century, and today's 1929 market hall and open sheds have produce, meat and cheese stalls, spice vendors and snack stands. Saturday mornings are the busiest and most atmospheric time to go.
