Located on 20 acres of the Graff family land in the loess hills of northeast Clay County, Missouri, Fair Share Farm is dedicated to organic agricultural practices that build soil and protect the environment.  We grow an acre of crops for our live culture fermented krauts, kimchi and pickles, as well as a large community garden for ourselves and our workers.  A laying flock of 80 pastured hens provides eggs for the crew and customers at the farmers market.  Our fermented foods are produced on the farm in our commercial kitchen and are sold through subscription, at the Brookside Community Market and local stores.  In 2019, we installed an alley-cropping system of berms and swales with perennial plantings.  This work is ongoing and next stages include planting more tree and shrubs along with the incorporation of a small flock of sheep
