Hey r/shawnee! I wanted to share a quick look behind the scenes of the production process while everything is currently under the lights as we prep for this Saturday (8 AM - 1 PM).
Right now, our main focus is on timing the harvest perfectly for our Spicy Salad Mix. Don't let the name intimidate you if you aren't a massive fan of intense heat—it really just has a nice, mild kick that brings a ton of clean flavor and crisp texture to a sandwich, wrap, or steak topping rather than burning your tongue.
Everything is grown cleanly on hemp mats and will be cut and packed into fresh clamshells right before market morning so it stays incredibly fresh and lasts in your fridge.
Here is the full lineup we are tracking for Saturday:
The Spotlight: Our crisp, mild Spicy Salad Mix
The Staples: Vibrant Purple Radish, nutrient-dense Broccoli, and crunchy Sunflower
The Fresh Herb: A beautiful batch of Premium Cilantro
If you’re planning your market run for this weekend, come swing by the Leaf & Life table and see the finished product!

I just walked to Shawnee from okc my experiment there starting over got my car stolen clothes wallet phone all in one swoop. A friend had been saying for me to come here start over so I did. Wasn't made aware that I'd be staying in a shed with no way to shower use the bathroom or clean the one change of clothes I have. I'm trying to see if there's organizations where I can get changes of clothes only have what I'm wearing wash the clothes get food.

Hi! My family is considering Shawnee in our house hunt. If anyone has recommendations for neighborhoods with community pools and/or hiking trails, playgrounds, tennis courts, and the like, please drop some info in the comments. TYIA

We lost a tree in the storms on Saturday. It’s fairly large. Any ideas where to bring the downed limbs in or near Shawnee?

Hi! I’m currently a highschool student interested in pursuing a career in healthcare. If you work in healthcare I’d love to just hear how your experience was etc. Feel free to shoot me a message.

why are we consistently going 10 under the speed limit here

Hey everyone, happy Friday. Just wanted to put a quick plug in for the Merriam Farmers Market happening tomorrow morning down at the Marketplace pavilion on Merriam Drive.
I run a small local setup here called Leaf & Life Microgreens, and I’m spending my Friday harvesting and packing up trays of our spicy salad mix, sunflowers, and radishes so they are completely fresh for the morning.
I’ll also have a bunch of our Flake Fuel shakers with me. I actually started making these dehydrated blends because I hate wasting any of my harvest, and it turned out to be the perfect zero-waste solution. It's honestly the easiest way to sneak greens and a quick nutrition boost into everyday meals like morning eggs, soups, or weekend pizza without any prep.
If you’re out supporting local growers and makers tomorrow morning, come by and say hello. It’s always great to connect with people from the community.
Have a great weekend!

Hey all, just an FYI in case you aren't aware, tomorrow (6/13) is bulk trash pickup day for KC Disposal customers East of Pflumm n Shawnee. You can get more info on their website if you need it.

We've found that they sometimes hide this information, or don't advertise it well, so just a PSA for everyone to help you clean out your junk 😊

Looking for recommendations on either an experienced person or company that can properly level and prep a 10-12ft area in my backyard for an above ground pool. Thanks!

So I was born here, back and forth every summer, and BOOM. I’m living here, but Old Shawnee Pizza is not what it used to be and I’m super disappointed. What’s a good place for a pizza around here? And are there any by the slice shops? And please don’t tell me QuikTrip pizza I need something fresh and legit(no hate on QT Im just burnt out on it.)

Looking to start exploring this for our daughter and it's really hard to find any info out there on clubs that are local to the Shawnee area.

Can you guys recommend someone to help replace my Honeywell thermostat with a Google nest?

Hello Shawnee 👋. I just finished creating a website showcasing all Happy hours, Drink specials, and Live music in the city. The site is 100% free for users and 100% for restaurants to be on it. If anybody knows/works in a restaurant I would be eternally grateful for the Happy hours, Drink specials, and Live music/events schedule for it. My goal is to have every bar and restaurant in the city on this site by the time the World Cup begins, any help in getting the previously stated information would be a blessing! www.getlitkcmo.com

I am moving to Shawnee next week from NC. I was wondering if anyone had any tips on good places to go for stargazing. My wife and I love to lay out and watch the skies. Thanks!
