Long Acres Farm recently moved their outdoor vegetable stall from the space they had occupied in the Delmar Loop for the past 43 years to the parking lot of All Saints Catholic Church at 6409 Clemens in University City.
They have erected a structure on the church site from which they are selling their fresh fruits and vegetables Thursday through Saturday from 8:30 until 5:00 all year long.
The stall is owned by brother and sister team Jim and Debbie Schneider.
The stall in the loop was started by their parents Clarence (Jim) and Loraine Schneider who brought produce from their farm in St Charles county which they originally acquired in 1969. Although only a couple of blocks off the beaten path, the new facility has abundant free parking and customers are not confronted with the congestion that has plagued the Loop and parking lot behind 6600-6700 Delmar over the last few years.
The move was prompted by issues surrounding rent at the Loop stall.
In the summer months the market features produce grown at the family farm including tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, peppers and pumpkins.
They also market merchandise from other local growers as well as some that is purchased from wholesalers.
In addition to the retail side, the Schneider’s also supplies various restaurants in the Metro Area and they offer free delivery of food items purchased at their stall. Visitors to the stall are greeted by a very friendly staff which includes but is not limited to Jim and Debbie, Jim’s wife Mary and a frequently changing cast of friends and relatives including long-time regulars Tony and Dave.
These workers are eager to cut a watermelon in half or carry bags of produce to the cars as needed. Jim Schneider stated repeatedly that they have been blessed with a group of extremely loyal customers.
He said their facility will soon be sporting a sign designed and drawn by ubiquitous Skinker Debaliviere artist/activist Andy Cross, and Mr. Schneider invited all of the neighbors to come visit their relocated business venture which is offering “good, reasonably priced fruits and vegetables”.
