Farmers market in Kirkwood

Like it

It was quite busy when I arrived, but I snagged a parking place not far from the market. There were lots of fresh Christmas trees, wreaths, and bows, a great selection of each! There were also so many things that I consider to be stocking stuffers, from jarred foodstuffs, to packaged containers of delicious looking sweets. I believe one could find just about anything you could want for final gifts or things to set out for guests. The best part is that nothing seemed overpriced for the quality of things that were available! It was a lot of fun to look around. The staff I encountered were cheerful and kind, and the vibe was "excited for Christmas". I am so glad I visited today!

I went to this market in the fall. The area with the goods is fairly small but have a lot of variety. There are 2 main walking aisles only really wide enough for one person so you are kind of "in line" as you are walking through. We went when the market was close to shutting down for the season so lots of items were on sale. I ended up getting some jelly, beef sticks and a couple of other items. They all tasted great. The check out area was very efficient and even wrapped my glass jars which I appreciated. There was a big area in the back for kids - like a pumpkin patch activity type vibe. I didn't go in there but it looked like lots of families were enjoying it.

This place is nestled in a nice area and although small, packs a punch. Walked out with lots of good fresh produce and some sweets and a few other things. Even had a gentleman making balloon animals got the kids. I really enjoyed this market and will definitely come back.

If you want to support a locally owned, family-run business and visit the best pumpkin patch / fall market in St. Louis, look no further than the Kirkwood Summit All Seasons Market! Our family has come every year since our kids were babies. Pumpkin patch highlights include: the corn kernel pit that kids love to bury themselves in, the prize they get upon finding a clothespin in a haystack (way easier than a needle!), the huge hay bail mountain to climb, lots of slides, tire swings, toy tractors, and even a place to mine for gemstones. Since it's in the heart of downtown Kirkwood, it's walkable to some of St. Louis's best shops and restaurants, so you can extend your visit beyond the pumpkin patch itself. Most other STL pumpkin patches are in more remote areas so that makes this one unique. The Summit All Seasons Market also has a top-notch fall market with great holiday decor, local produce and sweet treats from locally owned bakeries, plus a nursery with mums, pumpkins and gourds, galore. Lastly...it's a great fall birthday party / special event destination! For the past two years, we've held our daughter's birthday at their pumpkin patch. Owner Kris couldn't be more kind and accommodating, and her staff is absolutely stellar. To illustrate this point, a very unexpected torrential downpour / hailstorm happened in the middle of our party this year. The staff saved the day by quickly clearing space in the covered market in order to move the rest of the party under shelter. They even helped us clean up and bring all the party decorations to our car - we didn't even have to ask. So I highly recommend the Summit All Seasons Market as a fall birthday party venue, in addition to an awesome pumpkin patch.

Cute little farmers market in the heart of Kirkwood! They have a little bit of everything produce wise, plenty of plants, indoor and outdoor, pond plants, and flowers, and some great pots and accessories. They also had a bunch of cheeses, sauces, and spreads. It's not very diverse, but still has a little bit of everything you need. Probably more fun to walk around and enjoy the people watching. They do take card, which is super convenient. Plus, they're dog friendly! There's definitely better farmers markets closer to the city, but worth it to swing by if you're in the area!

Cute little market. I wish there was more of a local produce selection. They have some but generally feels like overpriced produced that's still shipped from somewhere else.

Very expensive! I have shopped there twice and both times spent way more than at the grocery stores. I thought farmers markets are suppose to be competitive?

Ok, clearly (based on my photos), I went Christmas tree shopping here. The place gets 5 stars, my experience gets 3. It was a little too...much? We drove out from the city, looking for something different, and literally the second we stepped onto the property, someone was slamming us asking to help. I just wanted to browse, walk around, look at trees and wreaths. We felt obligated so we just asked for a direction. But then, literally 4 sec later, another guy was in our face trying to help. "Is this your first tree?" Dude, I'm 33 and husband is 40. It's my... 15th? I didn't really respond to him much but then he started pulling out trees for us to look at. UGH! Now what do I say... "Eh, uh, eh" until finally I just want to rid this experience and say "yeah, sure, that one's fine". He immediately starts asking if we need roping, wreaths, etc. I didn't even know what "roping" was, but I live in a small city house, not Kirkwood, so none of that excess $$$$$ decor is needed, thanks. Now, had I been able to peruse myself, I may have bought something. Now the store. Holy moly it's full of stuff. A whole Jesus Christmas section, in fact. Hello, suburbs. Candy, jams, breads, cookies, marshmallows, poinsettias, pickles, ornaments, wooden creatures. So much, like to much. It feels like they are shoving things down your throat. My 6' little, "narrowest I could find" fraiser fur tree was about $70. It's not cheap. The experience seems cute but really leaves something to be desired. I also felt obligated to tip but didn't have any cash. I don't know, do you tip the over-zealous tree guys that I didn't even want? We were in and out quick, which is what they seem to want. Like a chain restaurant. It wasn't relaxing and I didn't get to really enjoy walking around with my husband. I just felt obligated to pick a tree ASAP. The sign is cute. Only way I'll be back is with my attitude to tell them to leave me alone.

What other fresh farmer's market offers a punch card incentive? I'll wait..... Exactly! After 5 punches you save 10%. Nope it's not a ton but it's better than nothing. Now that's what I call customer appreciation.

Summit produce at the Kirkwood Farmers market is my favorite go-to place for in-season local produce. Staff is incredibly helpful and they have a huge selection of local and non-local produce clearly labeled and priced so that there is no ambiguity. Prices are extremely reasonable and they offer coupons on a regular basis as well as frequent shopper stamp cards. in addition to the other farmers that come to the Kirkwood Farmers market, summit produce sells for a number of local farms and is open 7 days a week unlike the rest of the stalls at the Kirkwood Farmers market. Masking is currently required because of covid-19 as well as social distancing which is enforced. They have sanitation stations throughout the produce market. currently the produce market does not offer samples because of the masking requirement.

Picked up the Christmas tree from Summit Produce. It looks great. The staff is exceptional.

Wonderful place for Christmas trees, decorations, treats and overall Christmas cheer. Visiting has become a Christmas tradition that our family looks forward to every year.

I had no intention of getting a tree this year until I walked by this place. The trees looked healthy and smelled wonderful. Everyone was very gracious and were there to help. They wrap the trees up in netting so that the branches are not all over the place if you have to put in the back of your car(my seats lay down :) ). They also have neat and cheap tree stands they can put on for you! The stands have a little valley around the tree, creating a small moat so that the water can sit in it and the tree can sip as needed. I might have been a little too excited about this as I remember every year the struggle to put the tree in the dumb tree stand. :p I just took it home to my sinus cold husband and BAM it was done! hehe. Prices seemed reasonable to me but I do not know what trees go for these days. They have trees of all sizes! HUGE to small, as I got the later. Over all I am VERY happy that I got my small tree here. It smells wonderful and Christmas is just that much better for it. I want to check out what they sell in the summer! It is a neat place.

DO NOT BUY A CHRISTMAS TREE FROM THIS GUY. Been buying trees from this place for 20 years. Trees are much more expensive here than other places but I like buying from local businesses. The tree cost $150 plus a $25 delivery fee. I spent six hours decorating the tree. From the first day the tree had NO smell and did not drink a single drop of water. The owner had me drill many holes in the tree trunk to try to get it to drink, but it never did. The water turned rancid and smelled terrible and I had to bail out the water. The owner offered to replace it but in the meantime I had an accident and tore a bicep muscle and physically couldn't take off all the lights and ornaments and replace them on a new tree. At first agreed to give me a free tree next year but he wanted the dead tree now, while I've got presents under it. Then he changed his mind and wanted the tree NOW. I told him I will eat the cost but will go to this tree lot again. Horrible customer service.

Summit Produce has the best produce and flowers and it's a pleasure to shop there. Located conveniently in Kirkwood, it offers activities and loads of treats to go along with the excellent produce. They offer huge flowers vs. smaller not as healthy looking mums etc. I buy my spring and fall flowers here every year. Fall is perfect to bring little ones and my daughter has enjoyed coming there every year growing up. Their staff is very friendly and will go out of there way to help you find the perfect pumpkin if you want the help! A great experience every trip we make.

Apples are starting to trickle in. Thats home grown apples. I love it when homegrown peaches overlap homegrown apples. How much better does life get? And of course locally grown tomatoes are so good and so healthy for you.

Summit is a fixture in the Kirkwood Farmer's Market, offering food, flowers and merchandise almost all year round, truly a convenience to folks nearby. While it is not the actual farmer, it does bring in seasonal produce as well as foodstuffs that have traveled some distance. The staff is super helpful and attentive---ready to carry your purchases to your car, almost insistent, in fact. Summit carries a nice variety of favorite plants like annuals, native perennials and others, tropicals, and hanging baskets. The prices aren't low, but they aren't cray cray high, either. Keep your eye out for discounts. During the summer, for one reason or another, you may be able to find some deep discounts. This is particularly true at the end of the season. I have purchased weigla for 2 bucks a bush and found similar bargains on other things. Keep your eyes peeled. They bring in baked goods, like pies, which are adequate but not stellar. There is also a selection of grass fed beef and specialty meats and cheeses. I really haven't gotten into those, as they are in a product category that doesn't interest me so much.

Summit Produce has a great selection of flowers. I usually get all my annuals there. Even this weekend, late as it is to plant , I was able to find some plants to fill in my flower beds. The staff is really nice and gave me a discount because there were only 5 plants in the 6 pack instead of 6. Both the produce and plants areas are pleasant to walk around and the visual displays of merchandise is so tempting.
