Deep Mud Farm is a certified organic truck farm supplying diverse vegetables to two farmers’ markets and a number of restaurants in Columbia and St Louis, Missouri. It is run by Jeremy Saurage, on four acres of land that are part of what was once his great grandfather’s farm in Callaway County.

2009 was a very encouraging first growing season for Jeremy and 2010 promises to be even better. His plan is to plant out slightly more ground than this past year, increasing the area under cultivation to two acres. While quite modestly sized, Deep Mud focuses on producing as much value and as high a quality as possible, using the most efficient and appropriate means available.

On the second Wednesday of each month between June and October, join Slow Food St. Louis and the Schlafly Bottleworks as they present SLOWednesday after the Maplewood Farmers’ Market. Each month a different farmer from the market will speak about their farm, giving you the opportunity to get to know your food, its origins, and most important, its producers. The culinary staff of the Schlafly Bottleworks will also cook a special meal utilizing products from the featured farm.

Talks will begin in the Crown Room at 7:30 PM, and Schlafly asks that everyone interested in ordering food and drink place their orders and be settled in before that time.
