New Roots for Refugees Farm Share

New Roots for Refugees Farm Share is a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) program that provides subscribers with 5-7 locally-grown, seasonal vegetables and herbs each week (AKA a “share”). Shares can be picked up at one of our pick-up sites around the greater Kansas City area. New Roots aggregates produce from farmers currently in our 4-year program, as well as graduates from the program. Payment is made in advance or in installments and helps provide capital for things such as seeds and tools for farmers to use in preparation for the growing season. Our farmers are experienced growers who are learning to farm in a new climate while also learning a new language and food culture. By buying a Farm Share, you are supporting the training and establishment of multiple farmers in the Kansas City area and directly helping grow the number of urban farmers!
