With our support we extend the invitation to all, from export to beginner, to start your journey at Antioch. Located 5 minutes from downtown Kansas City at 2727 44th St. Kansas City, MO 64117, you can find us on 11 acres of personal development playgrounds. Come start your journey today! 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. 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.

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.” Marla and Brian Biggs began this first generation farm just outside of Paola, Kansas in 2013 with a small herd of Scottish Highland cattle.

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. 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. "There's something about the outside of a horse that's good for the inside of a man." Winston S. Churchill We are a grass based, raw dairy farm. We milk Jersey cows and our herd is 95% A2A2.We also have free range eggs, and partner with a neighbor for grass fed/grass finished beef. We use homeopathic remedies on our animals and don’t use any growth hormones. In addition, we do not use chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides on our fields. We believe our personal health begins with the soil that our food is raised on, and we are committed to restoring our land. This allows our animals to graze pastures rich with nutrients that not only keep them healthy, but then have the nutrients to put into the dairy, meat, and eggs. It's our belief that if we consume foods from nutrient-dense soil, that we can and should get all the nutrition our bodies need to stay healthy, including vitamins and minerals. We meet customers in North KC, Brookside, Grandview, and Lees Summit weekly. Pinwheel Farm began as a dream — first the fantasy of a tiny cabin in the woods, raising sheep and spinning yarn…various revisions over the years…then much later a roughly sketched business plan for a 20 acre vegetable farm as a class project.
We supply non-irrigated vegetables and other horticultural crops, forage-fed lamb meat, poultry and wool products to our community through on-farm sales, the Downtown Lawrence Farmers’ Market, and locally owned restaurants. Our mission is to help people to live simply, sustainably, and spiritually as part of the Earth’s Community of Life by developing, modeling and teaching innovative alternatives to conventional input-dependent agriculture and consumerist lifestyles and economies. Rise and Shine on the Homestead is a small farm hoping to help feed the greater KC area. We are a permaculture Farm aimed to take a natural approach to gardening and livestock practices.

My name is Blake Bahora I run 700th Homestead Company a small scale naturally grown produce and proteins farm in Pleasanton Kansas. I started my sustainable farming journey in 2019 when I was determined to raise my children on clean and flavorful foods. My then goal to feed my family grew to include friends and eventually other families I didn't know personally started wanting in as well. Now my farm includes a small CSA program as well as farmers markets to help make local food more accessible. Specializing in the weird and unique I love introducing people too fun varieties of staple food to help even the pickiest of eaters fall in love with fresh local eating. We raise poultry for meat and eggs in open-air, floorless moveable coops on our mixed species grassland pasture. We process and package all of our meat and eggs here on the farm in our KDA approved, PL 90-492 inspection exempt processing facility and in our own clean farmhouse kitchen. We are currently building a new handling facility to allow us to expand our production. This new facility will move all of our egg and meat handling and packaging out of our farmhouse and into its own professional space, which will include walk-in freezer and cooler, mechanical egg handling, and storage space for all our packaging and handling equipment and supplies. It will also eventually include a certified kitchen and a finished attic space with residential quarters for live-in seasonal apprentices, interns, laborers, and other farm educational visitors. Our mission is to reconnect urban and rural life by providing our non-rural community members with the best food we can produce and with opportunities to get hands-on experience and education about small-scale regenerative and sustainable food production in northeast Kansas. Nestled in the rolling hills of northwest Missouri, our family's century farm hosts TableTop Farms. As a woman-owned and family-operated venture, we take pride in our seed-to-table approach. Growing over 50 varieties of Certified Naturally Grown vegetables and herbs yield flavorful and nutrient-dense produce thats healthy for your family. We collaborate with nature, fostering healthy soils abundant with life through thoughtfully managed fertilizers and compost. This creates a thriving habitat for beneficial earthworms, nematodes, and other soil organisms. Our animals thrive through regenerative practices, contributing to the healing of our land. Our South Pole cattle graze exclusively on grass, while our farrow-to-finish hogs, meat birds, and egg layers also enjoy pasture life. They're supplemented with organic grains and any garden scraps they fancy. We love talking about growing food, food education, and nurturing community connections.
