Contents include 10-15 different vegetables, small fruits,and herbs in season that week. Selections include our choice of Mideastern and Oriental veggies, tomatoes, eggplants, hot and sweet peppers, tomatillos, beans, edamame, basil, cilantro, parsley, other herbs, onions, beets, leeks, cucumbers, summer and winter squash, pumpkins, melons, okra, strawberries, blackberries, asparagus, radishes and daikons, and much more including our own home-made sorghum molasses. Flyers accompany each delivery to describe contents and give suggestions on preparations.

We are a family-owned and -operated farm in a beautiful, forest-surrounded, rather isolated, valley near the Chariton River in northern Missouri. Our "specialization" is ethnic and heirloom vegetables, herbs, and small fruits. We produce a wide variety of Oriental, Southeast Asian, Middle Eastern, East European, Latin American, and old-fashioned North American "veggies" and market them via a local CSA, at Kirksville farmers' markets, to consumer buying co-ops, and to restaurants and grocery stores in the Kirksville area. Contact us if you are interested in our products and live in this area. Our only processed/value-added product so far is sorghum molasses. We welcome inquiries about farm tours in season (Monday-Tuesday only), or possible internship opportunities.
