Be Love Too Farm is a non-certified, organic microgreen and sheep farm. Our focus is growing the most nutrient dense microgreens (we call them shoots) and regeneratively raised grass fed, grass finished lambs.

​We started our farm in partnership with Cafe Gratitude, growing organic vegetables and microgreens. Through the years we have chosen to dedicate our time and energy to microgreens and sheep, which is our passion. We sell to individuals through a subscription program, restaurants, grocery stores, the KC Food Hub, and at the Brookside Farmers Market.

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.

The 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.

It has since grown to 3 acres and added a mixed fruit orchard, 300 blueberry bushes, a student designed edible forest, a moveable high tunnel, a solar storage shed, a coolbot refrigerated trailer, and numerous other projects.

We are a fourteen-acre urban farm in southern Wyandotte County bringing people of all ages, abilities, and ancestries on-farm, hands-on connecting them to the land and soil, themselves, and their community. We scaffold our educational opportunities so that pre-k children can get outside, move around, and experience farm life; elementary-aged children can feel the joy of growing and eating fresh food; and tweens, teens, and young adults can begin to experience regenerative agriculture as part of the entire food system, and perhaps as a vocation having internalized the skills they need during their time visiting. We participate as a host farm in the Growing Growers program. We grow organic food and feed our own 40-member CSA, host a weekly on-farm pay-what-you're-able farmers market that accepts SNAP and utilizes the Double-Up Food Bucks program.

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.

Pat and Rachels Gardens LLC is a USDA certified organic family farm located between Lawrence, Kansas and Olathe, Kansas just south of DeSoto. Jim and Sandra Leek and their children worked together to create Pat and Rachel's Gardens LLC. Pat and Rachel are two children of our clan who have passed away, and we created this farm to honor them.

As part of our dedication to the local food network, we are farmer members of the Kansas City Food Hub where James served as a board member for four years. We are primarily solar powered and use a pond-fed, drip irrigation system to use resources as sustainably as we can here in Kansas. We invite you to support Pat and Rachels Gardens in creating a healthier future by buying Solar Organic Local food: SOL food.

​James Leek, co-owner of Pat & Rachels Gardens has supported research and dissemination of best practices through SARE and USDA grants. He has shared his knowledge with the community through keynote presentations at the Kansas State Olathe campus and at the University of Missouri Extension in St. Peters, Missouri.

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.

We not only grow and sell at local farmers markets, but we are working with Agape Grow at Beaumount and teaching 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 Agape Grow, we have been able to expand this outreach.
