Meet Your Farmers

Farmer Dave and Sheri

We understand what it feels like to want to look your farmer in the eye. After 11 years of farming we realize that we bring you more than just a box of incredible tasting veggies each week. The CSA is a place where you become friends with your farmer and other foodies like you.

Our Family Farm

Our family has been growing great produce since 2009 when we were bitten by the organic gardening bug.  Back then our CSA started with a handful of friends who wanted to join us in a transformational eating journey .  Over the years the farm and our CSA have grown, but we are the same old avid gardeners passionate about the dirt and about eating fresh produce!  We don’t have a big farm, but we utilize year-round production strategies to provide our community green, fresh, locally grown, produce throughout the year including the cold Missouri winter.

Where can I get my Veggies?

For Winter CSA we have pickups Thursday afternoons and evenings in Prairie Village, Overland Park, Brookside, Leawood, Lee’s Summit, Lakewood and at the Farm in Independence, MO

What's in my box each week?

The truth is, only you can answer that question because our unique CSA allows you to choose the contents of your box each week.  Before every CSA pickup we’ll send you an email updating you on what’s going on at the farm and letting you know what we are harvesting each week.  Want more details? Download our Harvest Calendar below to see what will be available each week throughout the year.

Why Choose a CSA?

Eat with the season!  Become part of the local food movement!  Know your farm and know your food!  Where the Redfearn Grows Natural Farms CSA program allows you to take home your share of the harvest each week.   Each week we arrange the bountiful harvest farmer’s market style for our members to select from.  Choose what you want in the quantities you want based upon the membership level you have subscribed to.  CSA’s are proven to increase vegetable consumption and lead to positive health outcomes and our members agree.

Chances are you are missing out on some of the incredible health benefits of vegetables.  A recent CDC study reveals that 86% of Americans are not eating enough vegetables!  Joining the CSA is taking a big step toward joining the 14%ers!

What our members are saying

“When joining Redfearn Farm CSA, I had no idea how much of a catalyst for change in our lives it would be. After being members for a few years now, we have really made a transformational change in our family. The variety keeps us constantly trying new recipes and even introduces us to new vegetables that we’ve never tried before. The fresh produce is so yummy that you don’t crave processed food. The Facebook group has been great because I get new ideas from other members, and it serves as inspiration when I am struggling with meal planning. Our children love seeing where their food is grown. Whether or not we’ve ever said it, joining helped us feel more a part of a community and it’s been fun to find out new friends are also members. We can’t thank Sheri and Dave enough for allowing us to be a part of their farm family.” –Courtney McGinnis

What our members are saying

“Before joining the CSA, we were a boxes/bags/cans processed food family. Kids and adults in activities meant little time in the evenings for quality meals. After a few seasons with the Redfearns, our busy family cooks together more, sits down for meals together more, and have gotten more adventurous with our menus.  My wife and I no longer have to hear about cholesterol or exercise or those other middle-aged problems on our doctor visits.  Our 8-year-old actually asks for vegetables as a snack.  Most importantly, we’re comforted by the knowledge that we know exactly where our food comes from and that it’s grown free of harmful chemicals, just as nature intended.  Dave, Sheri, and the Redfearn kids have helped make our family happier and healthier.  Joining the Redfearn CSA was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.” –Michael Lynch”

 

Naturally Grown

 

 

The health of our family, our customers and our environment is of critical importance to us. That is why preserving natural practices in the growing of the produce we provide to our community supported agriculture members is part of who we are.

We aim to protect biodiversity, build organic matter in the soil, prevent pollution, reduce waste, and conserve resources. Where the Redfearn Grows Natural Farms was founded with the belief that natural ecosystems hold within them the keys to growing healthy food.  We’re committed to our “more than organic” standards.

We bring ancient agricultural wisdom and modern biological research together to develop growing practices that mimic naturally occurring processes and result in healthier food and a healthier environment.

Our commitment to using natural growing practices requires us to emphatically reject the use of all of the following on our farm:

  • We reject all synthetic chemical pesticides (Sevin).
  • We reject all synthetic herbicides (Roundup, Preen, etc.).
  • We reject all synthetic fungicides (Daconil).
  • We reject all petroleum based fertilizers (ammonium nitrate, super phosphates, potassium phosphates, etc.).
  • We reject all Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) seeds.

At Where the Redfearn Grows Natural Farms, feeding the soil is our core business. It may look like dirt to you, but the soil is a vast ecosystem of living organisms and minerals, iron oxides, unicellular bacteria, actinomycete filaments, flagellated protozoans, ciliated protozoans, amoebae, Mycorrhizal Fungi, nematodes, root hairs, earthworms, elongate springtails, and mites. These combine to make nutrients available to plants.

Synthetic fertilizers short-circuit the process, giving a quick jolt to plants, but often starving the soil organisms and reducing long-term productivity of the soil. We make it our aim to improve soil quality and organic matter content with every growing season. We improve the soil through the application of copious amounts of locally sourced organic compost made from recycled Kansas City area food and lawn wastes and tested and guaranteed free from chemical residues as well as compost produced from crop residues on the farm.

We also apply composted manure as well as kelp meal and fish emulsions for added nutrients. We plant cover crops like buckwheat, winter rye, and field peas to add organic matter and fix nitrogen into the soil. The thick organic straw mulches we apply for water conservation and weed control also break down to feed the soil microorganisms. Crop rotations including deep-rooted crops help bring up key minerals locked deep within the Missouri subsoil.

Finally, we limit tillage and compaction of our planting beds for improved soil structure that gives soil microbes, fungi, and earthworms the ability to thrive.

“You don’t have to cook fancy or complicated masterpieces — just good food from fresh ingredients.” – Julia Child
