Dirt beast farm

A HUUUGE thank you to and Evergy and the other Cultivate volunteers for coming out on Earth Day and busting out a ton of native tree/shrub potting work! We potted over 600 natives for our wildlife habitat project. I was thoroughly impressed with the efficiency of the crew, y’all know how to get sh*t done!

WE GOT EGGS! DM me if you’d like to purchase…but also, I did a dumb thing earlier this year and pulled a random price per dozen outta my chicken butt when i first got our hens. But, now that we have a few dozen available for sale again, I figured I’d use this as an opportunity to show y’all how to calculate the price of egg production on a small farm. There are expenses I’ve left out (taxes, licensing fees, egg cartons, etc) so I don’t actually expect to make a profit, which is a bummer, but since I’m the “labor” caring for these ladies, at least my time is accounted for. Profit on small farms is kinda a whole topic on its own, but ain’t nobody got time for that discussion right now.

Join us this Sunday to help create a lush habitat for all our furry, feathered, scaled, and insect friends! Please RSVP at the link in bio. This is a great opportunity for our farm to provide much needed green space in the urban core.

Happy Valentine’s Day! We love all you folks you support local + small scale agriculture, no matter what farm you buy from! Our adopted goose laid us her second egg for us today. I think she’s telling us she likes us 😊

A big thank you to Anna and Jomel for covering a big chunk of our last round of food expenses and upcoming TNR costs! I can’t do this without you all!

If you’d like to support these little fur balls, head over to the link in bio and contribute to keeping the stray cats healthy and happy (and the population under control), which also helps to prevent them from terrorizing our native bird and wildlife residents. A cat that is fed and warm is much less likely to hunt unnecessarily.

Hi all, I’ll be on a little panel next Saturday talking about grants. If you’re interested in starting a farm one day this event is a great way to network and learn some cool stuff. Hope to see ya there!

Every winter, Cultivate KC convenes local and regional farmers and food activists to connect, converse and contribute ideas regarding issues affecting our city’s urban farming community. This, our 20th anniversary event, will focus on the theme of The Past, Present, and Future of Farming in Kansas...

One thing that i bet almost every urban farmer experiences is the magnetization of so many neighborhood strays to their farm..that is certainly our case. So far we’ve been caring for and feeding these adorable little friends and have loved doing it, but unfortunately small farms don’t have much in the way of “excess funds” and I’ve just been tacking the costs on to our credit card balances. So it’s time to start fundraising and gathering resources. I will be formalizing a “friends of the farm cats” donation and volunteer program, but for the time being, if you have a few dollars you could spare, or some extra cat food, flea/dewormer medication, etc, myself and our feral feline friends would be oh so grateful. There’s a link in our bio to pitch in some funds (just my personal account at the moment), or if you’d like to drop off any food/medicine just drop off on our porch at 4139 Highland Ave in KCMO. Thank you ❤️

We let our fall tomatoes sprawl on the ground to stay close to that ground heat at night, but with these temps i prob should’ve trellised. The volunteer amaranth and cosmos are loving it too 😍
