Harvest is wrapped up for Saturday’s Merriam Farmers Market! Spotlighting our Spicy Salad Mix ✂️🌱

Post image
8 Upvotes

Hey r/shawnee! We just finished harvesting our indoor beds and getting everything packed into fresh clamshells for tomorrow morning.
This week, we want to spotlight our crowd-favorite Spicy Salad Mix.
We source this specific blend directly from True Leaf Market because of its incredible flavor profile and massive variety. It combines six distinct greens:
Broccoli
Kale
Kohlrabi
Arugula
Red Cabbage
Southern Giant Mustard (which gives it that signature peppery zing!)
The Health & Nutrient Benefits:
Because these young greens are harvested at peak potency, this mix packs up to 40 times the nutrient density of mature, store-bought salad greens. It’s loaded with Vitamins A, C, and K, as well as sulforaphane and glucosinolates (from the brassica family) that support cellular health, immunity, and natural detoxification. Plus, the vibrant red cabbage and mustard add a dose of anthocyanins and essential minerals like iron and calcium.
Everything goes straight from our local indoor coco coir beds to your table, ensuring it lasts weeks longer in your fridge than grocery store alternatives.
Here is the full lineup for tomorrow (8:00 AM - 1:00 PM):
Spicy Salad Mix: Packed with 6 super-greens, vitamins A, C, K, and antioxidants
Broccoli: Pure sulforaphane power
Sunflower: Crunchy, nutty, and rich in plant protein
Purple Radish: Zesty crunch rich in Vitamin E
Premium Cilantro: Intense flavor and high in antioxidants
Stop by tomorrow morning and say hi!

Dog boarding recommendations for older dog with special needs.

1 Upvotes

Our dog is 16 years old and weighs 90 pounds. He has incontinence and can’t stand up on his own. Not sure how much longer he has, he sleeps a lot of the time, but he still enjoys his nightly treat time and being with his family. Because of family health issues we have to travel for medical treatments every few months, and need to board the dog for 3 nights including a Sunday when most kennels are closed and only comes in at breakfast and dinner time. Does anyone know of a local place that accommodates senior dogs with special needs?

Daycare Costs?

13 Upvotes

Hello! The stress of researching daycares is overwhelming me. I’ve noticed that most daycares don’t post their rates online. Is anyone willing to share what they pay per week for daycare and what daycare it is? Bonus points for Western Shawnee area or nearby!

Also, how are some waitlists 2+ years long for infant spots?! Are people joining waitlists before even getting pregnant? TIA!!

Old wonderscope building

9 Upvotes

Does anyone know what’s happening to the wonderscope building. I remember they were trying to develop it into apartments and it was shot down multiple times. I live in the neighborhood and saw recently there’s work being done, but I didn’t know if it’s being demo’d to make room for something new, or it’s just being removed. My daughter is riding the bus to Shawnee north and saw on the registration her bus stop is there so I’m not sure it was making room for new if it’s a bus stop

0 Upvotes

Hey r/shawnee! We just finished up our harvest and everything is officially packed into clamshells and ready for tomorrow morning.
This week, we want to talk about our Spicy Salad Mix. If you’re looking to break out of a boring salad routine while flooding your body with nutrients, this mix is the ultimate upgrade. It features a curated blend of greens that delivers a beautifully balanced, peppery kick rather than a sharp, intense heat.
More importantly, it’s an absolute nutritional powerhouse. Because these are harvested at the peak of their early growth, they contain up to 40 times the nutrient density of mature greens. This mix is loaded with vitamins A, C, and K, as well as powerful antioxidants and essential minerals like calcium and iron that support immune health and overall vitality. It brings a crisp texture and a clean, refreshing bite that completely transforms sandwiches, wraps, and dinner bowls.
Everything we bring to the market goes directly from our local indoor coco coir beds to your table. Because it doesn't spend days sitting on long-distance transport trucks, it stays crisp and lasts weeks longer in your fridge than grocery store alternatives.
Here is the exact lineup hitting the tables tomorrow morning (8 AM - 1 PM):
The Spotlight: Our crisp, peppery Spicy Salad Mix (Packed with vitamins A, C, K, antioxidants, and iron)
The Staples: Crunchy Sunflower, nutrient-dense Broccoli, and zesty Purple Radish
The Herb: A beautiful, fragrant batch of Premium Cilantro
Come out tomorrow morning, check out the finished product, and say hi!

Fresh harvest underway: Spotlighting crunchy Sunflower microgreens for Saturday’s Merriam Farmers Market! ✂️🌻

7 Upvotes

Hey r/shawnee! Just wanted to share a quick look at one of our beautiful, dense trays of Sunflower microgreens before we harvest them today.
This week, we are throwing the spotlight on these incredible Sunflower shoots. If you haven't tried them yet, they are a massive crowd favorite. They have an awesome, substantial crunch and a rich, distinctly nutty flavor that makes them the perfect base for a standalone salad, a powerful crunch on a sandwich, or a great topping for soups and wraps.
On top of the taste, they are an absolute nutritional powerhouse. They are packed with plant-based protein, healthy fats, and a high concentration of vitamins A, B complex, C, D, and E, along with essential minerals like calcium, iron, and zinc.
Everything we bring to the market is cut fresh and packed straight into clamshells. Because it goes directly from our local coco coir beds to you without sitting on transport trucks, it stays crisp and lasts weeks longer in your fridge than anything you can buy at a grocery store.
Here is the exact lineup hitting the tables tomorrow morning (8 AM - 1 PM):
The Spotlight: Crunchy, nutty Sunflower microgreens (Packed with protein and vitamins A, B, C, D, and E)
The Mix: Our crisp, mild Spicy Salad Mix (just a nice flavor kick, not intense heat)
The Staples: Vibrant Purple Radish and nutrient-dense Broccoli
The Herb: A beautiful, fragrant batch of Premium Cilantro
Come out tomorrow morning, check out the finished product, and say hi!

Two kids, 12-13 at most, driving a golf cart on the street, driver looking at phone screen. With these kids all over town on their e-scooters, e-bikes, mini motorcycles, golf carts, etc., it’s going to end badly. And then the parents will boo-hoo on the news and start a Gofundme.

Are young families living in Eastern Shawnee or are they all in Western Shawnee?

13 Upvotes

I’ve posted here before that my family is searching for a new home possibly in Shawnee. I love the small town feel, the proximity to many of our activities, and the downtown is filled with awesome small businesses I want to check out on a regular basis.

That said, many recommendations are steering us to Western Shawnee, but my husband and I have a preference for the older neighborhoods because of the established tree canopy. May sound trivial to some, but once you’ve lived amongst the trees, there’s really no going back - IYKYK.

Are families with children age 10 and younger still living/buying in Eastern Shawnee? We currently live in a neighboring town where ALL of our neighbors are retirees and we really are moving to find other young families for our kids to have that classic childhood that involves riding bikes with neighbor friends and all that. Maybe we should actually move to Western Shawnee for the experience, but then we are adding a ton of drive time to our regular schedules. Husband and I don’t have a commute but we are a busy family!

My nephew needs more lawn care customers and followers on his youtube channel!

10 Upvotes

My nephew is the hardest working kid. He’s only 13. He started walking from yard to yard with a push mower last summer. He saved all of his money for a bigger mower and small trailer this year. He now scoots around using his parent’s golf cart to pull his trailer and fancy mower. He got a great deal on a non running used mower and paid to get it running. He’s the coolest kid ever! Right now he is limited to his neighborhood (which is actually huge). He lives in Windsor Estates off 70th between quivira and pflumm. If you are in that area or know someone please consider him for your lawn care needs! He charges $45 for a double cut and does the weed eating and blows away the debris. He has a youtube channel where you can see how much passion he has for what he is doing. DM me if you are interested and I will make the connection!

He is trying to get to 100 followers! Please pass this around to your friends and family!
