About the Farm
Background
Located in a forest-surrounded valley near the Chariton River in northern Missouri, this family-owned and -operated farm has carved a niche by growing a diverse array of ethnic and heirloom vegetables. The farm caters to a local CSA, Kirksville farmers' markets, consumer buying co-ops, and various restaurants and grocery stores in the Kirksville area.
Practices
The farm focuses on cultivating a wide variety of Oriental, Southeast Asian, Middle Eastern, East European, Latin American, and traditional North American vegetables. Their approach emphasizes diversity in crop selection, which supports both the local ecosystem and the culinary needs of their community.
The Rest
In addition to fresh produce, the farm offers sorghum molasses as their sole processed product. They welcome inquiries about farm tours during the season on Mondays and Tuesdays, as well as potential internship opportunities.
