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 welcome talent from North County and around the region to perform musicals, spoken word, dance recitals, concerts, and more. This will also become the home of A Red Circle’s annual Kwanzaa production and celebration.

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 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. 

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. 

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.

The Nexus parking lot will be filled with rain gardens. A rain garden is a shallow depression planted with native wildflowers and grasses. They absorb hundreds of gallons of rain that would otherwise wash pollutants down the street into the nearest river, stream or lake.

Benefits of a rain garden include reducing runoff, filters pollutants, recharges groundwater, reduces flooding, and provides valuable habitats for birds, butterflies and insects.

​Residents also are welcome to grow plants, fruits, and vegetables. They will work along side local urban farmers to learn about producing their own food. 

Cold Storage minimizes post-harvest losses. The demand for crops such as carrots, beets, winter squash, cabbage, onions, garlic and sweet potatoes in winter is significant. If growers had the appropriate storage facilities, all these crops could be successfully provided in the springtime.

Residents will enjoy fresh, healthy foods made by local chefs. This will be a space for community members to gather and have a nourishing meal.
