Rebecca Graff and Tom Ruggieri
Having met on a CSA farm, apprenticed together, and been part of the Growing Growers program for 15 years we are excited to continue helping provide a learning resource to the KC area for sustainable agriculture. Over the years we have continued to improve our farm and diversify our markets to maintain a viable farm operation. We also coordinate with other producers to provide meat, cheese and bread to our members (add-on cost) and distribute these partner vendor products with our CSA shares. This collaboration allows us to provide a more diverse group of products to our members, creating a farm-based food hub/food circle.
