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 PageThe 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.

A dream that I did not discover until later in life. Some of us are late bloomers, and that is okay. I always had a passion for nature and the great outdoors. Who knew it would be farming that would take a hold of me and not let go?I had the good fortune of being around other nature loving family members, namely my grandparents on my mother’s side who transformed a dry and barren half acre property in Eastern San Diego into a beautiful and fruitful property with flowers and fruit trees of all kinds. Hidden Mesa Farm is named in honor of my grandparents who lived on Hidden Mesa Road. Hidden Mesa Farm, established in the fall of 2020, is a small specialty vegetable, fruit, and herb farm located in rural Paola in Kansas. We believe strongly in using organic methods on our farm to help improve our soil health and increase the biodiversity that exists on our small piece of land that we now steward. Our homegrown produce is available during the Farmers Market season in Ottawa, Kansas from May through the end of October and through a small membership CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) program. In the off-season, we continue to grow under cover and offer vegetables and microgreens for sale through our email newsletter to our local community. Please reach out if you would like to get on our email list or have any questions. We would be more than happy to answer any questions and offer you a personal tour of our farm by appointment only.

Linda Hezel PhD., R.N. began as Ecosystems Steward/Artisanal Producer at Prairie Birthday Farm 30 years ago to regenerate its severely degraded soil and reconstruct the native ecosystems that would have graced the fourteen acres prior to European immigration. We acknowledge the traditional lands and territories of the indigenous peoples, who once stewarded this land. The farm is host to innumerable pollinators and wildlife as well as over 1000 trees and shrubs (many native fruit, nut, berry), dozens of flowers, fruits, herbs, vegetables and hundreds of native plant varieties that yield a complex array of ecosystem services (carbon sequestration/storage, pollinator/wildlife food/habitat) all year without synthetic chemicals or season extension structures. While producing flavorful, nutrient dense ingredients, it also serves as a teaching laboratory where Linda shares the science, craft and art of artisanal food growing with chefs, farmers, apprentices (Savanna Institute, Growing Growers, Women Food & Agriculture Network, West Central Community Action Agency, NCAPS) gardeners, nutritionists, naturalists, artists and others to promote regenerative agroforestry practices and food literacy for healthy food and nutritional wellness. Teaching others to grow and eat nutrient-dense, organic food follows the 2008 American Nurses Association resolution for nurses to serve as role models and educators by participating in and promoting nutritious foods from sustainable local food systems so as to improve eating habits, increase patient and public health, and support the long-term social, economic, and environmental well-being of workers, communities and global health.
