Karbaumer Farm is a small, seventeen-acre farm just outside Platte City and Kansas City, Missouri. We've been growing vegetables here since 2004. Almost three acres are in vegetable production.

We say we are farming "back to the future" because our farm is powered by draft horses. To help protect air and planet, our vegetables are grown without chemicals of any kind. We sell our produce to local restaurants and families who live nearby. Gleaners from After The Harvest pick up our extra vegetables and distribute them to families who are in need of healthy food. We collect rain water to reduce water consumption and we purchase 'green power' from our local utility. Our old farmhouse is heated with two wood-burning stoves we feed by cutting our own firewood.

Our bees produce honey in hives we keep behind the barn and our hens roam freely in the afternoon sun. The horses, goats and a little donkey graze the pastures contentedly. Animals who come to live on our farm have found their forever homes.  
 
We take orders for processed chickens and turkeys from Mast Pastured Poultry in Jamesport, Missouri. The Masts own a small Amish farm and raise their poultry on pasture and in accordance with the Food Circle pledges. We do not charge the farm or the consumer for this service.

​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 turkeys and ducks 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.

​Green Gate Family Farm was started in 2010 by Ken and Kate. They have invested significantly in the infrastructure of their farm- a new added a new well and an in-ground irrigation system; established several new growing fields; installed lots of new fences and done fence repairs; built two high tunnels (both 30'x96') and a heated greenhouse (30'x46').

The latest project was to complete a significant upgrade and remodeling of the metal barn that now has new floors and walls (about 1200 square feet) and where they added electric power, running water, extensive fruit and produce handling and processing areas and equipment, and a walk-in refrigerator.

Green Gate Family Farm believes strongly in a 'soil first' understanding and philosophy of farming and food production, and our annual soil tests have shown good improvement in our soils. We entered the transition period required for Organic Certification immediately in 2010 (this requires functioning under all the regulations of being organic, without calling your farm organic), and after the three year transition period was completed, Green Gate Family Farm was officially Certified Organic by the State of Oklahoma's Department of Agriculture, Food and Forestry in 2013. We have remained Certified Organic and continued to strongly support the USDA National Organic Program since then.

​Our personal goals include safe, healthy food for our table, as well as for our customers, and a farm property that fits in with the ecology of the land we live on. We are striving to be a sustainable, ecologically friendly farm, and a successful farm business. We believe in building a strong food system and are proud members of the Kansas City Food Hub, a cooperative of farmers working together to sell into the regional food system.

​Rolling Prairie is the original Midwest vegetable cooperative. The founding farmers joined together in 1994 providing a vegetable subscription service to Lawrence and Kansas City. More than 300 households receive a weekly bag of locally grown produce during the growing season. While not all of our farmers participate in the organic certification process we still follow the same natural ecologically sustainable organic practices for growing food we have used since we started over twenty years ago.
