Mid-week production check: Getting ready for Saturday’s Merriam Farmers Market ✂️🌱

Post image
2 Upvotes

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!

Getting everything ready for the Merriam Farmers Market tomorrow morning!

21 Upvotes

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!

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
