We're so grateful for all of our volunteers who come out and share their time with us on-farm, hand-on!

Last week, 27 volunteers helped us welcome our community on-farm for our fall plant sale, sending hundreds of plants out to backyard gardens across the KC Metro.

Our volunteering shifts are open to folks of all ages and abilities, no previous agricultural experience necessary. And, because we're a nonprofit, volunteering with us counts for community service hours!

Wanna get in on the fun? Signup to volunteer through our website: https://www.kcfarmschool.org/volunteer-with-us

Questions about the form or volunteering with us? Email [email protected] and Carolyn, will follow up with you!

Summer is ending and back to school is in full swing, so what’s next? Well, September brings a transition harvest of late-summer crops and early fall veggies, including orchard fruits, hearty roots, and remaining warm-weather vegetables. So, that means it's time to process the harvest to preserve it and make the most of the abundance!

This September, the littles in your life can get on-farm with hands-on activities that show how they can make a garden harvest last longer, to be enjoyed for weeks (or even months!) to come. Families can look forward to learning how to dry, pickle, make jams and sauces, collect seeds, and much more!

Ag Explorers September Sessions are held on Saturdays, September 5, 12, 19 & 26th from 9-11 am, rain or shine.

Sign up your kiddos online and come learn how to save your snacks with us!

Have you been considering adding animals to your garden/farm? Well, join us for a day where we both can talk about and get's hands-on to see what it takes!

Join us on Sunday, September 6, 8:30 AM - 2:30 PM, at the Midwest Center for Regenerative Agriculture (MCRA), now at Colonial Farms, for our next KC F.A.R.M.E.R.S.

It'll be a big, fun day! Wear your working clothes/boots/gloves, and bring a side to share for our potluck lunch!

We're still riding the high from Saturday's Fall Plant Sale!

More than 250 folx joined us at the farm to find plants for their fall gardens, shop for fresh local food, explore what's growing, and spend some time together. We also got to learn and cook together, making potato fritters during Ag Explorers and ratatouille during our Cookalong with Kate and our friend Melissa from The Hive: Indigenous Collective.

Days like Saturday are such a good reminder that this farm is about so much more than growing food and plants. It's about growing knowledge, relationships, and community, too. We're grateful for every person and volunteer who came out, shared the day with us, supported our work, and helped make the farm feel so full of life.

And now, it's a new week—which means there's more fresh food to harvest and share with you at Farm Stop!

Come see us:
→ Wednesday, August 26, 3–7 PM at Common Ground, 2443 S. 42nd St., KCK
→ Thursday & Saturday, 9 AM–1 PM at our blue farmhouse, 4223 Gibbs Road, KCK

Fresh picks from Gibbs Road Farm: Heirloom, slicer and cherry tomatoes, summer squash and zucchini, freshly bunched herbs (parsley, sage & thyme), cucumbers, eggplant, garlic, okra, red and yellow onions, a variety of sweet and spicy peppers, red/gold/purple potatoes, turnips, and APPLES from South Baldwin Farms.

We've also got pantry staples and other locally made goodness: fresh bread, eggs, coffee, local honey, infused vinegars & oils, ferments, raw milk cheese, homemade soap, flour, and pasta.

CSA Farm Share members can pick up their shares during Farm Stop hours. As always, we proudly offer Pay-What-You're-Able pricing for our vegetables and accept SNAP and Double Up Food Bucks.

Thank you for continuing to show up for this farm, for local food, and for one another. We hope to see you at Farm Stop this week!

So much gratitude. For the misty rain. For this team and for the plants that continued to grow through the 100 degree temperatures we had over the past few weeks. We are grateful for this land and the hearts it holds so gently.

Our final plant sale of the year was this past Saturday. It was a lovely reminder of why we do all we do here. It’s for the food. It’s for the community. It’s to grow hope where there is none. We do this work because we must, we’re pulled, we’re compelled to share what we know to be true.

What we know to be true is this:
We know that by working together under this big blue Kansas sky, good grows. Sometimes that good is food and more often that good is connection to self, to each other, to meaning, to purpose. We find so much here as we walk through our everyday tasks.

When we welcome community onto the farm at a plant sale or field trip, it’s our chance to share by showing. Our first farm agreement is to ‘Say hello to everyone you meet.’ A visitor quickly becomes a friend and sometimes even begins to believe that we can grow tomorrow better than today…in a big way on this small farm.

Growing tomorrow better than today is a huge endeavor and one we can attempt only if many of us do attempt it. It takes action. It takes dedication. It takes beginning. We are grateful to those who came out to our plant sale last Saturday…you are growing the good and being the change you want to see. We are grateful.

Listening. Sharing. Stretching. Growing together.
We can do things through collaboration and care.

🌽🌱🎃 Look What Grew From a Conversation

We are so grateful for our partnership with KC Farm School and especially Farmer Nate!

Through conversations about the Three Sisters planting method, Nate became inspired to try it himself and he ran with it. He experimented, learned, observed what worked, worked through challenges, harvested beautiful produce, and is already thinking about what he might do differently next year.

And now he’s sharing those lessons back with The Hive. 🐝

That’s the beauty of knowledge-sharing.

We don’t have to own every project. We don’t have to do everything.

Sometimes we just start a conversation, share knowledge, and let someone else take it from there.

The Three Sisters have nourished Indigenous peoples, communities, and soil for generations for a reason.

🌽 Start the conversation. Plant the idea. Let it grow.

Thank you, KC Farm School and Nate, for taking that idea and growing something beautiful with it.

We need your support everyday, and we especially need your support this Saturday. How? If you can, we'd love for you to share some of your time and/or resources.

If you're free this weekend, please consider trading some time for some plants. We're covered Saturday morning, but if you've got some time late morning and early afternoon, we'll trade $20 plants for a shift.

Please let us know you're coming by registering to volunteer here...https://kcfarmschool.as.me/schedule/7f77fb18/?categories[]=Individual%20and%20Family%20Volunteering%20Opportunities

At each sale, we go through hundreds of cardboard flats. If you've got your own containers/buckets/wagons, please bring them to the sale for your plants, soil and other items. If you have many or can get some for us, please bring them by today or tomorrow.

This community efforts depends on sharing...and caring! Thank you and see you Saturday!
