This past Saturday we celebrated youth, community, and collaboration toward creating tomorrow better than today. We spent the morning in the greenhouse with several of our Farmers on the Rise apprentices, their friends and families, and partners from as the apprentices presented work they began over the summer including mapping this community’s environmental challenges, their new ArcGIS skills, and their ideas toward solution.

Friends from Rise4EJ, Beto Lugo Martinez and Jennifer Ahumada dedicated a day each week this summer to the apprentices and to developing their understanding of the world, their communities, and skills related to using science as solution.

We are incredibly proud of these young people and who they are becoming. We are doubly grateful for good partners who continue to show up for us and Wyandotte County.

Farm-made pizza, flower & herb make-and-take funshops, and birds were new to FARM FEST this year and were hits! So many highlights and so many stories to share…

Farm crew team, Kate and Sydney along with KCK Baker Patric from Purple Onion Flour Shop conjured up an amazing pizza plan and long-time FARM FEST chef Erin Bassett came through with the sauce- she made it from an assortment of community-grown tomatoes and our basil (see photo #9). Folx are still commenting on that pizza. Best ever, they say.

More than a few people spent hours at the flower & herb make & take funshops in the South 50 of Gibbs Road Farm picking zinnias, mint, lemon balm, sage, globe amaranth, goldenrod, and grape leaves from the or hard, berms & swales, and gourd tunnel there while kids climbed on and squealed for the wildland playground.

And the birds blew us away. Many thanks to Beak N Wings, Inc. for bringing their friends.

Jonas from Donderdag led the bike barn activities again and kids went off-road at Common Ground. Face painting, print making, corn husking and shelling, peace flag making, bubbles, bouncy house, and CARDBOARD VILLAGE were highlights.

MICROBES: Always and Everywhere and their humans returned and graced the dugout amphitheater. Firetrucks and a book mobile invited us in and a borrowed golf cart and CF Moto moved us around. Our good neighbors shared their spaces and many more endured the foot traffic, the ruckus, and the road closure. (We’re are thankful.)

So many community groups, farmers and makers joined; so many friends volunteered, FARMERS ON THE RISE jumped in, staff, board, and the events committee all made it happen. We carry so much gratitude.

More photos and stories coming this week.

Do you know Stitching Change yet? Located in KCK, they 'bring women together to teach them sewing skills, work collaboratively, market their products, and provide them with supplemental income. We also work to repurpose surplus and scrap fabrics into beautiful, handcrafted products, keeping them out of the landfill and preventing pollution.' They've just celebrated ten years! Learn more about Stitching Change on their website, https://stitchingchange.org/

If you don't know them yet and if you do know (and love) them as we do, you can find them at FARM FEST again this year. They'll have upcycled shopping totes, crossbody bags, kitchen items, and probably some of their new items including upcycled jewelry. They'll be in the farmers and makers area.

FARM FEST is about celebrating community, food, fun while growing the momentum of change and of participation. We love sharing our space with new and old friends and we love giving everyone who comes something to smile about. Stitching Change makes us smile.

FARM FEST is next Saturday, October 3 from 12- 5 pm. We'll have lots of activities for all ages, farmers and makers market, free farm-grown pizza, peace flag making, a resource fair, naturalist corner, giant puppet pageant, a bouncy house, a dream-it-up-and-make-it cardboard village, hourly farm tours, make-and-take workshops going all day, and even a bike barn and off-road trail.

It's also the first day of the Kaw Valley Farm Tour- so be sure to get your tickets for that while you're here.

Please park at Charlie's- address is 2443 S. 42nd Street, KCK.
Plan on doing some walking. Think about wearing a hat and bringing a water bottle. Bring strollers and pets on leashes.

This farm is hub of activity. People are always coming and going and many stop in after not having been here for years. We take a moment to visit, sharing greetings and stories, memories and information because we know that is what it's all about.

Over the past several months, we've returned to our roots in many ways to engage with growers- both emerging and established-helping them reach markets and connect to buyers. We've been working with friends at Springfield Community Gardens, Rustic Roots Farm , KCK Farmers' Market and Common Ground Producers and Growers to grow, aggregate, distribute, and promote local food.

We know that it can sometimes be simple- and sometimes it's just asking a question in a new way. We're talking about cooperative aggregation, consumer education, collaborative CSAs, widespread promotion, and down-to-earth logistics. We're moving at the speed of trust as we grow into what we might be. To us, it's all about relationship. We're not aiming to be like the big guys; we don't ever want to be nameless or faceless. In fact, we love our friends' faces and we love seeing them often!

You'll be hearing more about this work and the people on our team making it happen. From our farm manager, Nate Bush, to our new value chain coordinator (and crew member) Michael Herrera, to the growers we work with and the film crew at Ozark Vitality. In fact, there's even a documentary in the works and big ideas for local food promotion.

Have you shopped for groceries this week? Have you had a conversation with your farmer? Now is the time. We do intend to change the world and we work toward that every day with every step. We know that tomorrow can be better than today. Action is the solution.
