Slow Money NE Kansas - Winners 2014 - Bauman's Cedar Valley Farms GARNETT, KS

Bauman's Cedar Valley Farms - GARNETT, KS - Family farm-based non-GMO feed mill. 

The Baumans bought 180-acre Cedar Valley Farms in 2001. They raise pastured poultry and eggs employing organic practices, along with 100% grass-fed beef, and operate the only USDA-approved and certified poultry processor in Kansas. Due to faith practices, the Bauman family uses telephones but not the Internet. In the crowded online marketing world, they are unique – the Baumans deal primarily face-to-face. 

Rosanna Bauman, the farm’s operations manager,  writes a weekly column for www.Amish365.com.  You can read all of Rosanna's wonderful work at www.amish365.com/category/plain-kansas/

The Show Me Local Food Coalition is a cooperative effort among rural and urban Missourians that is building a new approach to producing, processing and marketing food in the state.

Our vision is to support the growth and development of the food economy by investing public resources in projects and programs that increase access to high-quality, locally-raised food products at affordable prices.

We believe that this approach increases the number and profitability of farms, expands job creation through local entrepreneurship and improves the health of consumers by increasing consumption of fresh, nutritious food.

Mission Farms (Organic) Farmers Market - GRAND OPENING THURSDAY, MAY 7th

New organic market in Leawood

An organic market is opening in Mission Farms, the new Leawood development that holds Zest and the Johnson County locations of Blue Koi, Blanc Burger & Bottles and Room 39. "It's a nice fit," Mission Farms marketing director Katie Chalfant told me. "There isn't a market in Leawood. There hasn't been since the one at Barstow, but that's been several years. And with our restaurants, a lot of which buy locally, it made sense."

Chalfant says the market is going to start "small but mighty," with around a dozen vendors, all of whom are certified organic or members of KC Food Circle or the equivalent. Not all the names are finalized yet, but among them are Foxfire Farm, which will serve sweet corn, and Schenker Family Farms, serving lamb, beef, and other meat. There will also be vendors selling produce, flowers, soap, bread, honey and dairy products, all under a covered patio. "It overlooks the lake and it's really a scenic area," Chalfant says.

The Mission Farms Farmers' Market will be open every Thursday from 4 to 8 p.m. on the east side of the Mission Farms. It opens for the season on May 7.
