Several farmers in our community of small, horse-powered family farms are working together to provide shares for a CSA. Running 24 weeks, from mid-May to mid-November, we will 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. Pick up CSA shares in Columbus Park, Downtown KC, or Prairie Village on Thursday evenings. We use natural and sustainable farming methods, focusing on integrity, quality and variety.
Pick up shares at the farm or in downtown Kansas City, MO, on Thursday evenings. If you find enough subscribers in your area, we will be happy to consider additional pickup locations for a small delivery fee.
