From Soldier to Soil: Thomas Builds a Community Farm
The article follows Stephanie Thomas, who traveled with her Air Force officer father and later left sales to run Spring Creek Farm on 20 acres. She joined the Kansas City Growing Growers Program as an apprentice in 2005 and now uses CSA to fund operations, supplying Baker University Merc Community Market Local Burger and Wheat Fields in Lawrence. She advocates organic-like methods, avoiding chemicals and stressing soil health and crop rotation. A limited number of CSA memberships remain for the year, contact 785-633-5292.
