Farmers in our community of small, horse-powered family farms are working together to provide shares for a 24 week CSA. From mid-May to mid-November, we supply a weekly share of FRESH VEGETABLES, including same-day-harvested SALAD CROPS, SPECIALTY MELONS, and HEIRLOOM TOMATOES. PASTURED EGGS and MEATS are offered separately. We use natural and sustainable farming methods, focusing on integrity, quality and variety.

Pick up CSA shares in Columbus Park, Prairie Village, Lenexa, Garmin (employees only) or Children’s Hospital Association (employees only) on Wednesday evenings.

For a free brochure and CSA application, email Christine at [email protected].
