Farmyard KC

Farmyard KC is a small market farm, new to the KC metro, focused on leafy greens, roots, herbs and elderberries. We grow in small, human sized plots, using regenerative agriculture practices. We focus on soil health principles and the surrounding ecosystems to support our plants needs.

Farmer Mickey Gallagher has been interested in small scale agriculture for quite a while, but in 2021 he started to take the necessary steps to pursue farming as his full time endeavor. While apprenticing at the local permaculture wonder farm, Urbavore, he took an online soil class and loved it so much he got a microscope to look at his own soil samples. Now in addition to his farming, he works for Compost Collective KC, Urbavore’s sister company.

His passion for the soil health has a direct relation to another passion of his which is cooking and preparing quality meals. He recognizes that quality food comes from a health biological rich soil, and what’s good for the goose is good for the gander.

Growing in permanent raised beds with the incorporation of used mushroom blocks, wood chips, locally produced compost, compost teas, perennial landscape integration, and physical barriers, Farmyard KC looks to grow real, high quality produce for the community.
