North St. Louis County residents deserve fresh produce and need a full-time, community-oriented grocery store. People's Harvest will meet that need. The store will offer household staples, plus locally grown, chemical-free produce; bulk spices and dry goods; fresh bread; healthy snacks; locally made soups, jellies and sauces; and locally sourced dairy, meat, and seafood.
North County Community Nexus will be the new, permanent home of A Red Circle's offices and community programs. The organization has grown and is "graduating" from its incubator space. A Red Circle will continue to provide services to meet the immediate and long-term needs of North County residents from this new central location. North County Nexus will foster collaboration and synergy among the services, driven by the community's vision.
North County Community Nexus will bustle with educational opportunities for the young and the old. A Red Circle and like-minded, co-located civic organizations will host life-building training on topics including health, nutrition, economic development, and safety.
A large section of the property will be reserved for use by local healthcare professionals offering services not commonly found in North St. Louis County. Psychiatrists, psychologists, doulas, pediatric therapists, and public health advocates will serve community members through appointments and walk-in visits.
North County will have its own co-kitchen space, where culinary pros can rent space to prepare delivery-optimized menu items. The area will be equipped with infrastructure, kitchenware, cold storage for farmers, stoves, and more. Residents also are welcome to grow plants, fruits, and vegetables at the new Demonstration Garden.
Entrepreneurs who share A Red Circle's mission of economic and community betterment will be invited to lease space at North County Community Nexus. The goal is to foster collaboration and synergy among the services, driven by the community's vision.
