Local Harvest
The next best thing to growing your own.
Local Harvest is a grassroots business dedicated to selling farm
fresh
goods direct from small local farms.
Local Harvest was founded in February 2001 as a distribution network to create an efficient system for chefs to receive local produce.
By creating a centralized process of ordering and delivering we are
able to provide consistently fresh and flavorful produce for Kansas
City’s finest restaurants. In November of 2001 Local Harvest opened
the first retail location to bring that same consistent quality to the
retail consumer. Now you can have top quality organic/sustainable produce
delivered to your doorstep with the
Local Harvest CSA.
Purchasing a CSA plan saves you money each month and helps local
farmers—stay farmers.
Eggs: Only the freshest free range eggs make it to Local Harvest. Our main egg supplier Campo Lindo Farms has established themselves in Kansas City as a reputable source for free range eggs that are also hormone and antibiotic free.
Meat: After all this is the Midwest Local Harvest has
some of the best steroid, hormone, and antibiotic free meat to offer.
We only work with farmers who guarantee a pure product and humane treatment
of their animals. The meat portion of your CSA share will include a rotating
selection of free range chicken, lamb, grass-fed bison, grass-fed beef,
pork, ostrich, elk, heritage poultry.
Dairy: Located in the rolling hills of Purdin,
MO is Green Hills Harvest. A small family run certified organic dairy
farm that supplies us fresh grass-fed cow milk—you can really taste
the difference. Goat’s cheese from GoatsbeardFarm in Harrisburg,
MO. This young couple has traveled the country apprenticing with some
of the best cheese makers before settling down on their own farm and perfecting
artisan cheese production. We also offer several varieties of cow’s
milk cheese. Morningland Dairy located in southern Missouri produces high
quality aged raw cheese—no hormones, antibiotics, or colorants here
A CSA Full share will provide for a family of five or six and for example would include such items as:
- Produce: Two full grocery bags
- Eggs: Two dozen
- Meat: Two chickens, two pounds ground meat and a brisket, steak, roast or equivalent cut; selections are measured by weight and vary from week to week.

"The services you provide like preparing the food
me is of great value to me.. .I wish you the best of success but also
hope you never get too big that I can't mosey around hand picking produce
while my box is assembled.
Thanks again for all you do! Hope the new store opening was great."

By purchasing a Local Harvest CSA you save money. Paying in four week increments helps us so we pass that on to you. You receive about 5-2% more each week than if you were to buy outright, and you are given priority to specialty items that are in short supply. We have two locations where you may pick up your order or for $7 weekly you can have it delivered to your doorstep. Local Harvest’s priority is local food from small family farms by supporting us you arc making an investment in the health of your family and in the community.
