Food from the Juniper Gardens Training Farm

Juniper Gardens Training Farm growers sell their fresh vegetables during the growing season at ten local farmers markets in the area. One market is the KCK Greenmarket at Juniper Gardens, a market started in 2009 adjacent to the training farm. Through a partnership with the Beans&Greens program and the Family Conservancy’s Healthy Parents Healthy Kids program, Cultivate Kansas City hires a Healthy Food Team to offer cooking demos and other special events and services at the market and throughout the neighborhood.

Farmers in our New Roots for Refugees programs grow some vegetables that are native to their home countries. To learn more about the unusual crops you might find at their market stands, check out the Veggie ID page on their blog.
