Close up image of tiny garden sprouts Be Love Too Farm is a non-certified, organic microgreen and sheep farm. Our focus is growing the most nutrient dense microgreens (we call them shoots) and regeneratively raised grass fed, grass finished lambs. We started our farm in partnership with Cafe Gratitude, growing organic vegetables and microgreens. Through the years we have chosen to dedicate our time and energy to microgreens and sheep, which is our passion. We sell to individuals through a subscription program, restaurants, grocery stores, the KC Food Hub, and at the Brookside Farmers Market.  BoysGrow was established with the idea that young men can develop themselves with the responsibility that comes with ownership. Using Agriculture to not only address the food insecurity within our BG community, but also the local community around us has been a driving force as to why the young men in our program work diligently on growing. BoysGrow currently partners with LINC to provide CSA's to local Grandview District schools and have even partnered with a few schools to offer a Real-World Learning experience.  Bread and Roses Farm started as a large community garden and transitioned to a working farm in 2017 in order to give our land more attention. Our favorite things about farming include being a hub of increasing biodiversity for our urban neighborhood, learning from the land, and providing affordable and convenient local food for our city. The heart of a farm is our full season CSA. Our CSA is great for those who are new to the CSA model, or who don't have tons of time to go to farmers markets. We are passionate about making our CSA an easy alternative to the grocery store for those wanting to start their local food journey. We also grow a range of cut flowers for home delivered bouquets. Return to Directory Home Page The Buffalo Seed Company was launched by Dr. Matthew & Nancy Kost in October, 2018. Nancy is from the Altiplano of Bolivia and grew up growing quinoa, potato, and llamas in a resilient system that predates the Inca Empire. She has since acquired a bachelor degree in agronomy from Earth University in Costa Rica, and a Master of Science Degree in tomato breeding from The Ohio State University.
Matthew is originally from Kansas City and has returned after obtaining a Bachelor in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from the University of Kansas, and a Ph.D. in Evolutionary Agroecology from The Ohio State University. Matthew has also worked in conserving amaranth and quinoa landrace diversity in Peru and arid adapted crops in the Greater Southwest. Matthew and Nancy have deep knowledge and wisdom of seeds, seed systems, evolution, ecology, and adaptation. Importantly, we have two little helpers that mean the world to us, Silveria and Thomas. The Buffalo Seed Company supplies growers with bioregionally adapting seeds to increase the resiliency and sustainability of our local food systems. While our local food systems are strengthening, the seed system underlying them are far from local. In fact, many seeds offered to growers are sourced from outside their bioregion and often times outside the country. It is time for us to integrate locally adapting, as well as adaptable seeds, into our local food systems and to secure a bioregional seed source that can withstand change. The Buffalo Seed Company has taken on this task as our contribution to push local food production in our bioregion to the next level, locally grown crops from bioregionally grown seeds. This is not a new idea, but the foundations of truly resilient and sustainable agricultural systems; this can be seen in every crop center of origin around the world. Return to Directory Home Page Italian Bed and breakfast and Sustainable learning center with a 10 acre organic farm We host a Farmers Market for free for local farmers. We are a B&B that supports local food. We sell honey, pickles and other food items. Just starting to grow elderberries. We are open to bringing children to learn about earth and soil with our addition of Casa Somerset Sustainable learning center. We do source from local farmers for dinners and cooking classes.  Hello! We are David's Pasture: a multi-generational multi-family multi-species pasture-based farm just east of the KC area started in 2011 by the Kesten family. We believe in working with Creation to heal the ground and ourselves. We raise cattle, swine, chickens and turkeys out on pasture using intensive rotation and regenerative practices. We want to build up healthy soil and raise happy animals! We also want a more transparent food system: come tour our farm in the summer and see what we do. We deliver meats and eggs to homes like yours on a weekly basis. We support other local businesses by partnering with them in livestock production or offering their products on our website at davidspasture.com. In 2003, we began growing organic fruits and vegetables on Rebecca’s family farm in rural, northeastern Clay County, Missouri. We focus on building the soil through biological farming methods, including extensive cover cropping. The farm is home to two farmers, two cats, 70 hens, 6 sheep, and countless frogs, butterflies, birds and insects. Our infrastructure is focused on sustainable energy and includes a passive solar greenhouse, 30 gpm solar-powered irrigation system, electric tractor and utility vehicle, and a 20kW solar array. The 200+ acre family farm is planted in native grasses, good habitat for deer, turkey, quail, coyotes, and many other species of wildlife. We grow an acre of crops for our live culture fermented krauts, kimchi and pickles, as well as a large community garden for ourselves and our workers. A laying flock of 80 pastured hens provides eggs for the crew and customers at the farmer’s market. Our fermented foods are produced on the farm in our commercial kitchen and are sold through subscription, at the Brookside Community Market and local stores. In 2020, we installed an alley-cropping system of over 8,000 linear feet of berms and swales with perennial plantings. In 2024 we began the production and sale of a new product---Raw American Elderberry Vinegar. This product was produced as a part of a USDA Sustainable Agriculture and Research Project. An urban farm sitting on terraced land we use a mixture of garden beds, hydroponic tables and containers totaling 5,800 feet. We grow and deliver vegetables, microgreens, fruit and herbs cultivated using organic farming practices.  Farmyard KC is a small market farm, new to the KC metro, focused on leafy greens, roots, herbs and elderberries. We grow in small, human sized plots, using regenerative agriculture practices. We focus on soil health principles and the surrounding ecosystems to support our plants needs. Farmer Mickey Gallagher has been interested in small scale agriculture for quite a while, but in 2021 he started to take the necessary steps to pursue farming as his full time endeavor. While apprenticing at the local permaculture wonder farm, Urbavore, he took an online soil class and loved it so much he got a microscope to look at his own soil samples. Now in addition to his farming, he works for Compost Collective KC, Urbavore's sister company. His passion for the soil health has a direct relation to another passion of his which is cooking and preparing quality meals. He recognizes that quality food comes from a health biological rich soil, and what's good for the goose is good for the gander. Growing in permanent raised beds with the incorporation of used mushroom blocks, wood chips, locally produced compost, compost teas, perennial landscape integration, and physical barriers, Farmyard KC looks to grow real, high quality produce for the community. Our farm is located 50 miles south of Kansas City just east of Adrian, MO. We offer grass-fed grass-finished beef & lamb, forest-raised pork, and pasture-raised chicken and turkey. Our goal is to provide you with naturally raised wholesome food using regenerative farming methods that mimic the patterns found in nature. We use rotational grazing to raise our cattle and sheep. They are moved daily around our farm to new pastures and fresh forage. The chickens and turkeys live out on pasture in mobile coops. We move them every morning to a clean area of pasture where they can scratch and range for grasses and bugs in addition to their non-GMO feed. Our pigs are raised in the woods where they can roam and forage to their hearts content. They use their snout to root around the forest floor feasting as they go along. They also receive a free-choice non-gmo feed ration. Tasty bacon comes from happy hogs! We would love to be your local clean meat farmers. Check out our website for more information on our farming practices and shop online anytime for home delivery or free local pick up point around the KC metro. We are a family-owned farm growing pecan trees. Our orchard contains both native and grafted/improved varieties of pecans. We have been growing trees since the late 1970s and work hard to maintain the health of our trees, woodlands, and soil. Food Life Joy has been providing microgreens to farmer's markets and restaurants since 2016. We use organic or non-GMO seeds (if organic is not available) and organic grow mix, that's it! The Fruitful Hills CSA community of horse-powered family farms grows the products for 25 weeks of deliveries in the summer, beginning early May and ending mid-October. Our community also grows products for a winter CSA, beginning mid-November, and ending in late April with 12 bi-weekly deliveries. Fruitful Hills CSA grows high quality, healthy products. We started with vegetables 15 years ago, and now include eggs, chicken, turkey, beef, pork, raw dairy, honey, canned goods, cornmeal, popcorn, and apple cider. Fruitful Hills CSA offers farmers in our community the opportunity to take part in our grower’s circle. Members of our grower’s circle must uphold exacting standards for quality and land stewardship. Eight families grow a variety of vegetables for the summer and winter CSA seasons with consistently high quality. Our crops include heirloom and hybrid tomatoes, lettuces, baby leaf salad mixes, carrots, radishes, beets, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, bok choi, kale, peppers, cherry tomatoes, watermelon, cantaloupe, sweet corn, zucchini, cucumbers, green beans, potatoes, and strawberries. Share subscribers in the summer 2023 season received strawberries for 5 weeks, melons for 9 weeks, tomatoes for 19 weeks, and lettuce for 16 weeks. Our winter share subscribers enjoy a mix of root crops, fresh and storage vegetables, canned goods, fresh salad mixes, and head lettuce. Using high tunnels in the winter season gives our subscribers soil-grown fresh greens. We delivered fresh greens even in December, January, and February. We grow varieties harvested and delivered at the peak of their flavor and nutrition. We grow for flavor, not for easy shipping. We grow vegetables high in minerals and nutrients. We avoid the use of synthetic sprays and fertilizer, only using products labeled for organic production. We build soils with green cover crops, compost, and manure, using proper withdrawal periods for manure application of 120 days before harvest. Using horsepower for field work and growing crops in high tunnels, we generate a small carbon footprint. We heat the high tunnels with wood in the coldest days of winter for the early tomatoes. Doing so allows us to deliver to subscribers fresh, soil-grown tomatoes early in the summer season. We raise our animals outdoors on free-range pasture. During extreme weather, we provide proper shelter. A benefit to subscribers is the annual farm visit and tour, held in early summer. We invite subscribers to visit the farms to see our farming practices and talk with the people growing their food. We feel it’s proper to say, “From our fields to your table, using sustainable farming practices with your family’s health and the health of the environment for future generations in mind.”  Fyler Farms has been in the family for 6 generations. Originally settled by Jeremy’s grandmother’s grandpa, a German immigrant in 1902 who utilized the Homestead Act in Kansas. The farm has its roots in wheat and livestock farming and continues today as Jeremy operates his own extension with his partner John. Jeremy and John took the leap into their own farm in 2020. Each decision they have made has been with sustainability at the core. Each upgrade, change, and routine decision is based on what is within their limits and what will best serve the community. The farm is 31 acres, with 11 head of cattle, 2 goats, 2 sheep, chickens, ducks, turkeys, geese, and guineas. Jeremy and John also operate a small local “micro-mill” (think micro-brewery) and commercial kitchen, which they use to be a fully functioning site for cleaning, milling, sifting, and packaging raw flours and baking mixes. The farm works in a circular way where they source grains from neighboring organic and regenerative farms. They then process the flour onsite, and the 20% waste is used as a supplement to their livestock grass and hay. |
