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.

We are commited 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. We are committed to remineralizing the soil to provide nutrient dense food, and we are committed to making our produce economically fair to the farmer and to the eaters.

We are currently based on the original 4 vacant lots that were a community garden in east KCMO, as well as a few satellite lots. We also have access to pasture land 45 minutes east of the city for chickens, cows, and other large projects.
