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. We have over 1/4 acre deep mulched or back-to-eden style, no dig/no till garden. We love to grow garlic and onions but we dabble in a little bit of everything. I plant intensively and even inoculated my walking paths with wine cap mushrooms. I run an honor system farm-stand at the end of my driveway that is always open May-October. I am a stay at home mom of 3 and I spend a lot of my time in the garden with my children. My market garden was established in 2015 and it just keeps getting bigger and better. Founded by the farmers who own, run and supply it. The Kansas City Food Hub was founded in 2016 by a group of small farmers who envisioned a local food system that allowed farmers to move their product into restaurants, schools, homes and more. They not only wanted to feed their communities but uphold their beliefs of sustainable farming for themselves and the next generations. In addition to integrating local food into the Kansas City Metro Supply Chain, The Kansas City Food Hub focuses on…
Our small and medium-sized farmers are improving the economic viability of sustainable local agriculture by coordinating year-round production, by supporting emerging growers, by aggregating the distribution of product, and by bringing farmers and buyers together in a community that benefits all. MyCo Planet is a woman-owned and operated business that is dedicated to sustainability and education. Located in North Kansas City, the farm produces a variety of delicious and nutritious mushrooms using eco-friendly methods. We have our Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) Certification and we are committed to sustainability and organic practices, using only the highest quality ingredients and techniques to grow our mushrooms to ensure that we are leaving a positive impact on the environment. We believe in the power of collaboration and are dedicated to building strong relationships with our community and supporting local initiatives. We hope that our mushrooms will bring people together and foster a love of fungi. MyCo Planet was established in 2021 by owner, Robin Moore. She has a background in Biology and grew up on a small farm in Missouri where she developed a passion for growing food. We have an farm located in Kansas City, MO where we are trying to change the area one person, one family, one community at a time. We grow everything organically on our farm with a wide range to choose from...tomatoes, cucumbers, squash potatoes, beans, eggplant, herbs, garlic, peas, mushrooms, greens, strawberries, blackberries, elderberries, cabbage, kohlrabi, beets, turnips arugula, spinach, and so much more!
We also have over 50 different jellies and jams made using local produce we grow or harvested from within 75 miles of us. We have a line of Spice Blends, some using Ghost Pepper and Habaneros. We not only grow and sell at local farmers markets, but we are working with Pepper Berries Teaching Emporium and we teach gardening, cooking and canning classes. Our farm is unusual due to the fact that we love to teach others what we are doing. Not only do we sell at farmers markets but we teach people how to grow produce, can or cook with it and how to sell value added produce at farmers markets or wholesale. We have a 3 year program to help young growers learn to garden and provide enough for their families and also to sell and bring in an income. Working with Pepper Berries Teaching Emporium, we have been able to expand this outreach. 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. The Natural Farmacy KC is a sustainable, organic-practice urban farm operated by Dhan Rai, a graduate of the New Roots for Refugees farm business training program. In addition to selling at the Overland Park Farmer's Market, the farm also offers a CSA farm share program that includes full and half-season share options, supplies wholesale accounts, and now also produces cut flowers for sale to the public. The Natural Farmacy sites are located in the KCK urban core and have been a great opportunity to connect with the community and make productive use of under utilized vacant land and bring fresh produce to our neighbors. Farmer Dhan is excited to bring his years of agricultural experience from the field to your table! Sarah and Nicolás García both came to urban farming in roundabout ways. Sarah studied horticulture at JCCC in 2006-2008 and Nicolás studied how the world was broken at KU 2004-2008. While at KU Nicolás found peace in his vegetable gardens and guerrilla growing operations and after leaving KU Nicolás organized The Guild of Guerrilla Growers and later Anti-Hero Farms Edible Landscaping. In 2013 Sarah and Nicolás acquired the land they cultivate and established Treehouse Urban Farm in Waldo neighborhood of KCMO. They raise Indian Runner ducks, bees, native plants, berries, herbs, greens, mushrooms, and a rotating variety of annuals and edible flowers. |
