George Washington Carver Farm- Cultivating Relationships to Nourish a Community

Welcome to George Washington Carver Farm, a small farm on the East Side of Kansas City, MO, where they grow fruits and vegetables for our neighborhood and city. They were told that we live in a food desert, but they see an oasis with untapped potential. Their 2/3 acre site was neglected for decades after the demolition of the homes built there. At some point, it was covered with gravel, almost a foot deep! They aim to restore this small bit of land to be a thriving and integral part of our neighborhood's source of food, community, and healing. We sell online, to restaurants, and at a market right here on the farm Saturdays 10 am - 2 pm, beginning in May. https://www.gwcfarm.com/ Want to know more about how to support your local food system? • Buy and Eat Local • Advocate for policy that supports urban farms • Grow your own food • Volunteer Check out ⁠https://www.cultivatekc.org/urbangrow... for more information on how to get involved!
