“We specialize in products like wildflower honey, microgreens, herbs, edible flowers and handmade soaps.”

Bee Simple City Farm began in 2014 as a partnership between urban farmers Mary Densmore and James Meinert. We had been farming since 2009 with New Roots Urban Farm and began this project as a way to add to the work they were already doing at New Roots. We specialize in products like wildflower honey, microgreens, herbs, edible flowers and handmade soaps. Located just a mile from downtown, we think eating can be as simple as eating clean and quality food grown right here in St. Louis.
