• URBAVORE •

ur-ba-vore [ûr'bə-vôr] noun
(1) any animal that consumes urban-grown foods. (2) an organism that feeds from the energy, surplus, and/or waste of a city. Move over “100 mile diet” the new local food is but a bus ride away…. Welcome to U

RBAVORE in east Kansas City - one of the nations largest, most diversified urban farmsteads - a living, breathing organism that both feeds from and provides food for its urban surroundings. Born in 2011, URBAVORE is working to create and “edible oasis” that brings organic growth, sustainable life, and creative solutions to a city neighborhood. The farm uses “Beyond Organic” practices to produce heirloom vegetables, culinary/medicinal herbs, and edible flowers noted for their unique appearance and extraordinary flavor. The fruitful future of URBAVORE holds much more than annual vegetables:

Farmers, Brooke Salvaggio and Dan Heryer (aka the “Badseeds”), are hard at work creating a wholly sustainable, off-grid farmstead that includes an organic orchard, vineyard, heritage livestock, and alternative infrastructure. This 13.5 acre farm is but 7 miles from the BADSEED downtown storefront. Come and explore the unimaginable flavors of our extensive selection of “earthly delights” on Saturdays at Brookside Farmers Market on 63rd and Wornall.

It’s SUNFLOWER SEASON at Urbavore!!🌞☀️🌻 The sunnies are simply stunning this year thanks to all your tasty food scraps with . I’ll be selling them by the stem, by the trio, and in bundles of 5 this week through the online store. They work too(!!) - meaning I’ve had a very rough two weeks with both personal and work-related catastrophes, but these “sunnies” brightened my otherwise downcast mood every single time I saw them (in the field and on my table). Flower Power friends…the all-natural Zoloft.😂 Anyway, brighten your mood or someone else’s this week. *The strawflowers and Snapdragons are going crazy too!!

The beautiful Halley rockin’ it at today on behalf of !! This is the debut of the new market pavilion so it is PACKED with eager customers and connoisseurs of farm-fresh food!! We sent Halley with some Urbavore veggies to drive home the point that YOUR FOOD WASTE returns to the earth and becomes food once again when you compost with us!! It’s alchemy friends, and the impact of keeping those scraps out of the landfill addresses global warming and local food security simultaneously!!!😲🤯‼️It truly is mind blowing.🤷‍♀️ You can see from the photos of the Urbavore fields that our farm is lush & thriving all because of these food scraps. Our yields have more than DOUBLED since we began this venture of crafting your waste into beautiful microbial-rich compost and applying it to our fields every year. We now donate tens of thousands of dollars worth of finished compost to area growers, school gardens, farmers, non-profits, etc., and it’s become quite the social and environmental enterprise with gifts that just keep on giving (thanks microbes😉). Our one limitation is SOCIETY - meaning we need more people to embrace sustainable waste solutions and the cycling of nutrients. Composting should be happening in every single household and food enterprise throughout the country and the world. Can you imagine the impact??? - the sheer amount of “black gold” that could be applied to the land to grow nutritious, life-sustaining food??…the sheet amount of CARBON that would be sequestered from the atmosphere as these plants grow and thrive…not to mention the ginormous positive impact of cutting landfills by 40%!! Seriously, why is this such a novel thing? Let’s do this KC!! Sign-up today by visiting and hopping on our website.♻️🙏🌎
