Milk And Honey Creamery is a small family farm on the south side of Topeka specializing in Registered Nubian Milk Goats. In addition, we keep a small apiary of Honey Bees and care for a variety of other animals including a mule, donkey, peacocks, chickens, guineas, and recently a bottle calf. While the dairy goats are our focus, our goal is to produce as much of our own, healthy food as possible and share what we can with others. We take great care of our goats so they can produce high quality milk for our cheeses. They have free access to pasture and are fed grain twice a day when they are milked. Along with bottled milk we make four different flavors of Chevre (a soft cheese) and three flavors of cheese curds. These flavors include Garlic and Herb, Chipped Beef and Onion, Chipotle, and Dill. We keep a large flock of laying hens for a steady supply of free-range eggs and we also raise chickens for meat in a chicken tractor that provides them protection from predators while also giving them fresh grass as we move it daily. Our apiary provides us ample fresh wildflower hone and we typically harvest honey twice a year.

South Baldwin Farm
Gabe Spurgeon and David Miles 22 E 1700 Rd Baldwin 785/251-3993 www.southbaldwin.com Follow us on FACEBOOK Owner Dave Miles and his son-in-law Gabe Spurgeon both have a passion for tree fruit and agriculture, despite both having education and career backgrounds in engineering. Dave grew up on a dairy farm in northeast Kansas, and Gabe grew up in southwest Missouri working many summers in a peach orchard. Both came back to agriculture to pursue the dream of large scale tree fruit with modern growing techniques. History of tree fruit on the property goes back as long as anybody can remember. When Dave purchased the property circa 2000, dozens of apple trees were well established. The Miles family maintained a half-acre orchard, until the planting of the commercial orchard you see today started in 2015. |

Trivedi Wine is a local farmwinery that produces a dozen different wines that span the spectrum from dry to sweet and white to red, plus hard ciders! We are striving to make our land a more complete and sustainable ecosystem by growing perennial fruits, annual cash crops, hay and chickens.
On the farm tour days, we will offer complimentary short flights of three pre-selected wines for the farm tour guests. We will also offer a demo of the winemaking equipment under our canopy both days of the farm tour.
Make sure to make our winery the last stop of your day where you can relax and enjoy some good wine, good food, good music and a chill environment.

John and Sharon, William and Joanna 1814 N 600 Rd Baldwin 785/594-2493 www.veseckyfamilyfarms.com Vesecky Family Farms is one of the largest pasture raised poultry farms in Kansas. Their stone farmhouse was built in 1866, and added on to in 1870, 1885, and 1980. Three generations of the Vesecky family work this farm and are pleased to welcome you! Start your tour seeing the poultry close up, participate in educational games and get the feel of the farm. The hay ride runs continuously through the weekendpoultry, goats and a few cows. Its a great opportunity to meet the farmers and ask questions. Small folks can play in a corn tire, climb a rope and big round hay bales or take a ($2) train ride.

"We aim to create a better wine with more character and flavor that redefines how our customers think of Kansas wines. From the begining we felt if we can't sell it we're the ones who will end up drinking it so it better taste good to us. Apparently others share our tastes and are beginning to notice the difference. So we welcome you to visit us and taste for yourself the difference".White Tail Run Winery and Vineyard was started in 2006 by Dan Fuller with the help of his wife Nancy, son Dusty and daughter in law Jennifer and daughter Christy. Dan had just retired and decided to grow grapes him busy in retirement.
After growing grapes a couple years Dan decided to try his hand at winemaking. The first he made was from a Seyval grape. He entered into a wine competition for amateurs and won a bronze. After the success of that first wine competition, he started to make plans with his family to start a winery and vineyard full time. Now they have 5 acres of vines with four different varieties of grapes.
And now carring some craft beers!

Happy Weekend Everyone!
Wild Ivy Herb Farm has had a heavy and beautiful harvest of delicious elderberries and I have been harvesting as fast as my fingers could pick and de-stem! The first wave of harvest is complete and I am creating fresh elderberry syrup to prepare everyone for the season ahead.
Elderberry syrup is extremely high in Vitamin C, heavy in antioxidants and has scientifically been proven to boost immune to support our bodies during cold and flu season which is right around the corner! I have already started taking my 1 Tablespoon per day to fight off the ickies.
Please let me know if you would like for me to reserve and deliver a bottle (or more - it freezes well) to you. I deliver within a 20 mile circumference of Lawrence to include Baldwin City and surrounds. Otherwise, there is a $6 delivery charge or feel free to schedule a pick up from the Farm. A large 16oz bottle is $22.
You may request your syrup to be made with honey (for adults and children) or maple syrup (for infants under the age of 1 year).
Be prepared for flu season with a bottle or 2 of elderberry syrup!!
Elderberry vinegar ($19 for an 8oz bottle) and elderberry tincture ( $12 for a 1oz bottle) are also available!
Buy local this year instead of Walgreens or CVS for your elderberry health needs!
I look forward to hearing from you.
