In 2019 We moved our farm to help build an Education Center. We are an urban farm located in a distressed part of Kansas City. We are changing the area by teaching how to grow healthy food, cook and preserve it. We have partnered with Agape Grow Education Center to help change this area of town. Our gardens sit on about 2 acres where we do many styles of gardening to teach others what would work for them in their housing situation. We take product to a couple of farmers markets to sell but we also donate some of the product to the cooking classes, volunteers, weekly meals and others in need. We use all organic practices, no till and regenerative farming. We have a lot of teens come to the gardens to learn and volunteer. We work in the gardens in the mornings and the kitchen in the afternoons making added value products. We love to teach and work right along side as much as possible.
