What’s New?
Introducing "The Dirt on Biver Farms"
We’ve decided to pivot our full length newsletter to be featured as a blog, while the email will serve as the sparknotes, if you will, for all the latest updates! The blog is called The Dirt on Biver Farms, and it’s dedicated to keeping you updated on everything happening at the farm. From farm projects to growing tips, we'll be sharing the "dirt" behind what we do.

Recent Happenings
Farmers Market Season Has Begun!
We’re back at it! The Tower Grove Farmers Market began a few weekends ago, and we’ll be there every Saturday this season—rain or shine. We are also at the U City Farmers Market, now located at Heman Park, 1028 Midland Ave, St. Louis, MO 63130. Come visit us every other weekend and explore our selection of early season plants!
Early Season Planting is Underway
Our team has been busy planting early season crops in the ground, which means it won’t be long before fresh produce starts making its way from our field to your table. The high tunnels are up, and we’re watching everything grow (with fingers crossed and muddy boots on).
Up and Coming at Biver Farms…
Land of Goshen Market Opens May 10!
Mark your calendars: your favorite Edwardsville market is back starting Mother’s Day weekend! We’ll be at the Land of Goshen Community Market every Saturday, stocked with garden starters, greens, good vibes, and maybe a few Mother’s Day Bouquets.
Website Plant Descriptions Keep Rolling Out
We’re continuing to add descriptions to all of our potted plants online, so you can shop with confidence and get to know each variety before it lands in your garden. Big thanks to everyone who's already been ordering online—we love growing with you!
