Grinter Farms
Ted and Kris Grinter
785/749-1325
24154 Stillwell rd. Lawrence
www.kansastravel.org/lawrence/grintersunflowerfarm.htm






Ted and Kris Grinter's Sunflower Farm in Leavenworth County has become a phenomena. Although Kansas has a great many sunflower fields, those fields are primarily in central and western Kansas. These fields are in the far eastern part of the state (near the population centers) and the Grinter family let the public come into the fields and take photos. A great many people want to have their photos taken with the sunflowers. Professional photographers even schedule sessions here.
Sunflowers begin their blooming with the flowers following the sun as it crosses the sky. As the seeds grow heavier, the flower heads start to droop and finally just hang down, with the majority of them facing the east.
Sunflower General is a local goods & bake shop. In past years Sunflower General was open in the fall and the hours were Saturday 9AM - 5PM & Sunday from noon - 5:00PM, but they had extended hours when the sunflowers were in bloom.

Oregon Trail Farm

 (520) 249-0480



Having served 28 years in the Army with numerous deployments, 11 duty stations, and three combat tours, Ken and Cindy DeVan settled near Fort Leavenworth, Ks.  With two daughters growing up as Army brats, we’ve sampled u-pick farms from the east coast to the southwest and throughout Europe.  Upon retirement from the Army, we decided to start our own berry farm in Kansas on a quaint piece of property on Santa Fe Trail.  Researching the property, we discovered that the old Oregon Trail crossed our property.  As early as 1830, William Sublette took the first wagons along the Oregon Trail headed west leaving Fort Leavenworth, hence, the farm’s name.  Today travelers and locals alike can stop by for berries.
We began amending the already fertile soil by incorporating horse manure from local stables and over 10,000 pounds of coffee grounds and coffee chaff in the first year alone.  Working with numerous local tree trimming services more than 70 tons of wood chips were saved from landfills and aid in weed control and water conservation.  Each berry row was meticulously prepared for a year in advance to provide an environment that our berries love.  We promote an ecologically and socially just food system that looks to supports greater community wellness, reducing waste and improving the land.

We added three bee hives to improve pollination and further develop a healthy ecosystem.  The girls love the blossoms and the honey taste great.  Chickens were the next addition to assist in pest control and fertilizer.  They move along like a herd of velociraptors on the hunt for bugs and grubs.  Prior to and during berry season the hens are moved to another area as they enjoy the berry goodness too.


We have enjoyed fresh fruit and vegetables from local markets and farms from around the world and wanted to bring that great experience to others here in Kansas.
 
 

Farm produce: Blueberries, Raspberries, Blackberries, eggs and honey

We are primarily a pasture-based poultry and sheep farm practicing intensively managed rotational grazing on 40-ish acres of grassland and 20-ish acres of woods. We raise our laying flock year round and our broiler flock seasonally in small-scale, manually movable coops for both the protection of our animals and to best distribute the fertility provided by bird flocks to the areas of the farm most in need of improvement. We currently process all our eggs by hand and process all our meat chickens here on the farm in our own USDA Inspection Exempt processing facility, for sales to local families, grocery stores and restaurants via our online webstore at www.sweetlovefarm.com.
New this year is a new facility we are building, our farm is always looking to the future!
Our long-term vision includes the addition of larger-scale egg handling facilities and walk-in refrigeration and freezer facilities to entice other complementary agricultural enterprises to join us here at Sweetlove Farm as we continue our mission of providing excellent food, restoring land fertility, connecting with the larger community, and caring for the environment on our 63 acre commonwealth.
