ABOUT PERENNIAL CITY
Since 2017, Perennial City has been growing the local food web, from the ground up. Beth and Tim launched this crazy idea in their backyard to help neighbors eliminate food waste and support urban farming dreams.
Now in our 6th year, we’ve grown to help hundreds of households in St Louis keep the good stuff out of the landfill while supporting many local farms and artisans by shopping The Market.
