Bread and Roses Farm: Cultivating Community Through Uncertainty

Описание: Welcome to Bread and Roses Farm! Bread and Roses Farm began as a community garden in 2010, with garden plots for individuals to use, extra produce given to neighbors, and a few classes. Over the years, as the space expanded and the land required more stewardship, it has evolved into a CSA and market garden, allowing a hopefully growing number of people to farm full-time, putting all their energy into restoring this land.


They are committed to increasing biodiversity and soil life on the farm, both for healthier plants and as a haven for insect and plant species that would otherwise not thrive in the city. They are currently based on the original 4 vacant lots that were a community garden in East KCMO, as well as a few satellite lots.
