An Announcement from Urban Bounty Farms:

In 2025, our chief farmer, is excited to announce that will become the next indoor farm, providing year-round, chemical-free produce and the freshest, most beautiful, sustainably grown salads. We’ve formed a partnership that will help scale the bountiful urban farm our family has worked so hard to build for the KC community over the past couple of years.

A heartfelt thank you to the chefs, bartenders, farmers market-goers, produce wholesale distributors, grocery store managers, small business partners, and other local farmers whose support made selling out every week and the long workdays of growing, harvesting, packaging, distributing, and analyzing farm data so worthwhile in 2024.

Some of the lovely businesses that sourced produce locally in 2024 are below. Be sure to give them a try!⬇️

Happy National Agriculture Week to all farmers out there putting chemical-free food back into their community! As a farmer, you don't always see the fruits (💵) of your hard work but you do get the opportunity to positively impact your community.

From donating 365lbs in our first year of farming to the 12+ hour days selling, growing, packaging, and distributing I'm facing now, it has never felt more right to celebrate. Raise a glass (kombucha or a marg) to all the dedicated farmers out there, we're working hard to give you the food your body needs for longevity.🥗
.. & Queue 'The Little Engine That Could' energy.Proving Indoor Vertical Produce Farming to be valuable is my greatest challenge yet so a serious thank you to the restaurants and customers supporting. 🫶

My mom, a hard worker and the furthest thing from selfish. She’s an amazing cook, and Italian cuisine is her specialty.
Aunt Mimi, the president of UBF, a strategic guidance provider, and a lover of supporting the community. She turns ‘big pictures’ into reality.
Aunt Ju, a healthy and sustainable lifestyle advocate since day one. Always on top of fashion trends just by being herself.
My sister, a world traveler inspiring others to make life work for them and not the other way around.
