Home Gardens & Urban Homesteads… Feed the Family
Friday, June 26, 4:30-9:00pm: Urban Homesteading and Farmers’ Market, Bad Seed Farmers’ Market – no cost
In honor of Kansas City’s Urban Farms & Gardens Tour, the BADSEED Farmers Market will be hosting a special Market for all you “urban homesteaders” and wannabes!! Along with the regular gang of urban growers and producers of “other worldly delights”, special guests will include KC’s FOOD NOT LAWNS, an emerging national movement which promotes turning our lawns into gardens! “By growing food not lawns we can increase local food security, become more self-reliant, improve our diets, reduce energy use and pollution, and build stronger local communities.” Canning and Preserving Demos will take place in the BADSEED Kitchen from 6-7:30 PM. Demos will include Blanching and Freezing Greens, Pickling, Jams and Jellies, and Fermentation.
Saturday
At the KC City Market, you can look up Huns Garden and others (look for the Urban Farms & Gardens Tour posters and flyers).
Go to 52nd & Paseo for a normal market day at the Troostwood Youth Garden Market.
At Brookside, you can get to know the folks from KCCUA, Drumm Farm Garden, Blue Door Farm, Root Deep Urban Farm, and maybe a couple of others on the tour.
