In 2009, we left our full-time jobs and careers in other fields to focus on farming. Red Ridge Farms was born from a desire to raise our children in a healthy environment and provide them with good, organic food. We bring an accumulated total of more than 50 years of experience in farming. Our farm typically produces over 20,000 pounds of organic vegetables, herbs, fruits, and flowers from over 70 crops using four-season high tunnel production. We specialize in heirloom varieties, including heritage tomatoes listed on Slow Food USA's Ark of Taste — Cherokee Purple, Brandywine, and Amish Paste. We started Flavor Market because we realized farmers needed supportive businesses willing and eager to sell what they grow. Our store partners with about 25 local farms to bring the community fresh produce, pastured meats, non-GMO eggs, and over 120 gluten-free items from our kitchen — including meals, breads, pizza crusts, and desserts, all keto and paleo friendly with minimal ingredients. We are also founding members and active board members of the Kansas City Food Hub Farmer Cooperative, creating wholesale solutions for farmers throughout Kansas City.

Gluten-Free Ingredients Why We Choose to Farm In 2009, we left our full-time jobs and careers in other fields to focus on farming. Red Ridge Farmswas born from a desire to raise our children in a healthy environment and provide them with good, organic food. We are passionate about growing good food that hasn't traveled hundreds of miles to get to your dinner table. Along the way, we have developed a longing to educate our community about the importance of buying fresh food from local and sustainable farms. We bring an accumulated total of more than 50 years of experience in farming. For farm freshlocal products, trust none other than Flavor Market. We offer pastured pork, chicken, and beef, a wide selection of vegetables and fruits, and fresh products from our kitchen. Head over to our online store to view some of the products that are available to order for pickup. Better yet, drop by our shop on 50 Hwy so you can see the quality of the food items we have to offer. We are open year round. The store is open 7 days a week in the summer months. Why We Started Flavor Market While we stayed extremely busy on the farm, typically producing over 20,000 pounds of certified organic vegetables, herbs, fruits, and flowers from over 70 crops, we struggled with the more-than-full-time workload on the farm and the marketing it took to sell everything we grew direct to our customers. We noticed we could either do a great job growing, a great job selling, or a mediocre job of doing both. When the farmer has to sell every bunch of radishes their farm produces- that takes a lot of time away from farming. So we started to realize farmers needed supportive businesses willing and eager to sell what they grow. Most franchise grocery stores and restaurants only want to buy from 'the big guys'. They don't want to take time to purchase small amounts from small growers- so it is difficult to ever be anything but a mediocre small grower without this support. Our community is filled with farmers who are awesome at growing food- they just needed help with the marketing side of things. We decided to be that support for our farmer friends. Our store is placed to help our community with a hand-up and to make a difference in the local economy. Getting great food from great farmers to your kitchen. We are also active board members of the Kansas City Food Hub, creating wholesale solutions for farmers throughout Kansas City.
