• URBAVORE •

ur-ba-vore [ûr'bə-vôr] noun
(1) any animal that consumes urban-grown foods. (2) an organism that feeds from the energy, surplus, and/or waste of a city. Move over “100 mile diet” the new local food is but a bus ride away…. Welcome to U

RBAVORE in east Kansas City - one of the nations largest, most diversified urban farmsteads - a living, breathing organism that both feeds from and provides food for its urban surroundings. Born in 2011, URBAVORE is working to create and “edible oasis” that brings organic growth, sustainable life, and creative solutions to a city neighborhood. The farm uses “Beyond Organic” practices to produce heirloom vegetables, culinary/medicinal herbs, and edible flowers noted for their unique appearance and extraordinary flavor. The fruitful future of URBAVORE holds much more than annual vegetables:

Farmers, Brooke Salvaggio and Dan Heryer (aka the “Badseeds”), are hard at work creating a wholly sustainable, off-grid farmstead that includes an organic orchard, vineyard, heritage livestock, and alternative infrastructure. This 13.5 acre farm is but 7 miles from the BADSEED downtown storefront. Come and explore the unimaginable flavors of our extensive selection of “earthly delights” on Saturdays at Brookside Farmers Market on 63rd and Wornall.

Ringing in the New Year with these guys🐊🐊🐊 after spending X-mas with millions of monarch butterflies. Butterflies uplift my soul, and beasts steal my heart.🥰 Huge thanks to our 24/7 farm help for making this epic journey possible. I’ll share more in due time, but for now I’m staying away from this dang phone!!!

A few Winter Solstice reflections! ❄️✨ And now the light slowly returns.🌞

A few shots of our mulch spreading and food forest planting today…mostly for my own records. I like to use this platform as a bit of a diary or timeline whenever possible. I’m not the best record-keeper, but I do like to plant things and take lots of pics!!🤪

Big food forest planting today!! The understory of one of our (struggling) apple orchards is getting decked out with an awesome variety of natives and edibles - thanks to a Climate Resilient Fieldscape Grant. I’ve already created a large native flower and herb patch here, and today (in the maddening WIND💨) we spread TONS of wood mulch over deep compost, and planted several varieties of Gooseberries, Currants, Jostaberry, and everbearing Raspberries. Lauren was a trooper and got everything watered in despite the fact that we both wanted to cry cuz the wind was so biting and frigid.🥶So glad to check this last planting of the season off our list!!! I’m looking over the map now (with Kaiser), to figure out what goes in next spring!

Cayenne mohawks are all the rage in snowman fashion right now.🤣 Growing up on a farm, Sol knows the best veggies to use for snowman adornments. The “Cylindra Beet” for a nose is a great sub when you don’t have a carrot!! Even the teenagers slithered out of their dark hole to play in the snow for a bit.🙄 Dogs love it of course, but the survival of my tiny carrot seedlings and beautiful lettuce under the row cover is uncertain. Life is a gamble ain’t it, and farming for a life even more so. But hey, it keeps you on your toes, and provides you with plenty of cayennes for wicked cool snowman hairdos. Visit the link in profile to place your orders for homegrown snowman adornments/veggies/meat/eggs for Saturday pickup from 10:30 to 12:30.☃️🍠🧅🫜
