Make plans to attend several farm tours on four Mondays this fall with the Kansas Farmer Veteran Coalition and Kansas Farmers Union. Following the morning tours, participants will share lunch and interact with an educational speaker on a topic that enhances what was viewed on the morning tour.
Established in 2010, Juniper Hill Farms (1547 N 2000 Road Lawrence, KS) is a first-generation farm located in the heart of the Kansas River Valley in Douglas County, Kansas. A highly diversified and quickly growing agricultural operation operated by first generation young farmers, Juniper Hill Farms is committed to raising high quality products in sustainable and environmentally friendly ways. Juniper Hill grows 40 acres of vegetables both organically and conventionally ranging from leafy greens, tomatoes, and peppers, to watermelons, winter squash, and pumpkins.
Sweetlove Farm (13248 102nd Street Oskaloosa, KS) created an environment that comes as close as possible to what a chicken would choose on its own if it could. They rotate around the pasture in movable open-air hoop houses. Their chickens have constant access to green grass, weeds, seeds, bugs, fresh air and sunshine. Moveable hoop houses keep our birds safe from the weather and predators as they grow, while allowing us to increase the fertility and organic matter of our pasture.
Eco-Cattle (11621 Nemaha Road Oskaloosa, KS) uses regenerative agricultural processes to produce the highest quality food while improving ecosystem functions and respecting animal welfare. They hope you will join their many customers who share our passion and enjoy our grass-fed beef and other products
