​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.

Our goal here at MJ Ranch is to produce the highest quality grass-fed beef available anywhere and give utmost care to the land God has given us to use.  Our farm is certified by A Greener World for 100% Grass-fed/Grass finished Beef. The certification guarantees food products come from animals fed a 100% grass and forage diet, raised outdoors on pasture or range and managed according to the highest welfare and environmental standards on an independent farm. 

​Our cattle are born and raised on our family owned and operated 670-acre Ranch just outside of Lawrence, Kansas. We take pride in raising only authentic grass-fed/grass-finished beef; without using hormones, antibiotics, or using pesticides/herbicides on our pastures. Three generations of Williams live on the ranch and manage the family herd and operations. Our cattle are rotated frequently during the spring, summer, and fall in lush green pastures simply by calling them. Our own high quality brome, alfalfa, and clover hay is rolled out in the pastures for the cattle in the winter months. Ranch angus beef is certified by A Greener World as being 100% GRASS-FED. It is the grass, without any grain, that our cattle dine on that makes this the healthiest beef you can eat. 

I start to plant in green house in November, I start to seed some seeds such as beets and carrots. In January and February, I seed more seeds to plant and then I transplant my plant in April outside. I sell at Overland Park Farmers Market.

For over a decade, New Roots for Refugees has empowered families from the refugee community to start farm businesses by growing and selling produce through farmer’s markets, wholesale, and the New Roots Farm Share. At the Juniper Gardens Training Farm, farmers are given a quarter-acre plot to grow vegetables such as tomatoes, beets, spinach, green onions, lettuce, eggplants, and more.

Farmers bring agricultural expertise from their home countries and continue to learn more about growing sustainably in the Midwestern climate. Over four-years, farmers are assisted with crop planning, farm troubleshooting, farming equipment, business finance, record-keeping, markets applications, and customer recruitment. Each year, the program passes more responsibilities to each farmer to maintain their business. By the fourth year, farmers have taken on the totality of the business expenses and have practice maintaining their customer base.

​You can support our farmers by finding New Roots stalls at farmer's markets around the KC area, subscribing to our Farm Share CSA program, or buying wholesale for your restaurant or organization.
