New Roots offers a Farm Share vegetable subscription service that farmers-in-training use to sell their produce throughout the growing season. Each week, from May through October, customers receive a box of fresh vegetables and herbs from Juniper Gardens Training Farm. Customers pick up their orders from one of five locations around the metro:
- Black & Veatch Headquarters – Overland Park, KS
- Ten Thousand Villages – Overland Park, KS
- Westport Plexpod – Midtown KCMO
- Merc Co-Op – Downtown KCK
- City Market – KCMO
The 2024 Farm Share will feature all of the crowd-pleasing favorites customers have come to enjoy: root vegetables, mixed greens, tomatoes, onions and a whole bunch of culturally specific varieties, like Chin Baung, mchicha and water spinach.
Farm Share subscriptions are offered during the dates listed below:
- Early Summer Share: May 8-July 18
- Late Summer Share: July 31-October 10
- Full Summer Share: May 8-October 10
As we gear up for the upcoming harvests, we’re in need of Farm Share volunteers who will assist in distributing produce to customers, lending a hand for just a few hours each month. Visit our website or email Veronica Ma Ket for more information on Farm Share subscriptions or to submit a volunteer inquiry.
