Saturday sampling at Tower Grove Farmers Market

Rachel's first retail location was at Tower Grove Farmers Market in St. Louis. As one of the city's most popular farmers markets, it was the ideal place to reach people who want to support local makers and are always on the lookout for something unique and delicious. Bold Spoon began vending at TGFM in 2020 and after Rachel moved operations to her new farm, she began using ingredients that she grew herself, but she also sources from fellow vendors, using fruit, booze, coffee and other goodies from local producers to create a farmers market-themed line of flavors. At the market, Rachel offers up samples to passersby, enticing them to buy some ice cream ... and they usually dig in right on the spot and then buy more to take home.
