Not much if any sweet corn this week...Posted 8/15/10
Remember all that rain we got every 4 days in early summer? Well blame our not having corn this week on those rains. We will have plenty of tomatoes this week and are still picking watermelons. Stand hours: Mon-Sat 9 am to 6 pm. CLOSED ON SUNDAYS
Watermelons are here!Posted 8/13/10
For the rest of this week, sweet corn is just about done. However, we do have a cart full of sweet watermelon for $3 - $5, and lots of vine ripe tomatoes. Stop by between 9 am to 6 pm, Mon - Sat. CLOSED ON SUNDAYS
Visit to Boys GrowPosted 8/11/10
Hanging out with the group of farming kids
We finally had a chance when both our and Boys Grow schedules met up, so we took a drive out to KCK to take a look at their operation and hand over the check that our customers in July made possible during our blow out benefit. These boys along with the help of two mentors planted, tended and are now harvesting tomatoes, peppers, herbs and even sweet corn! They hope to manufature a Boys Grow line of salsa and learn to market the product. Please see the NBC action News piece thru this link: http://www.nbcactionnews.com/dpp/money/business_news/%27boys-grow%27-teaches-boys-the-possibilities-of-entrepreneurship Keep up the good work, boys!
Tomatoes becoming more plentiful...melons are sweet!Posted 8/3/10
Tomatoes, and melons are regular attendees at the stand now. If you are wanting to can some, please use the "Contact Us" page of this website to inquire about this week's supply and pricing. We prefer 24 hours notice.
Do you know these kids?Posted 7/29/10
Nice harvest, boys!
Ahhh, pumpkin season! This is a photo sent into us to compete in a photo contest. If you know the parents of these two boys, please let them know that we'd like to check in with them. SO CUTE!
Thanks,
The Johnsons

2 cartfulls!
One of our first customers in today to take part in the benefit for Boys Grow was in need of a good deal. And she got it! Here's Casey with her grandchildren and friend loaded up with plants for her home, and smiles on their faces. Happy Fourth of July everyone!
A friendly face in the marigolds!Posted 4/12/10
Dwayne choosing his marigolds.
While walking through the greenhouse yesterday, I came upon "Dwayne" who looked so happy picking out his marigolds, that I wondered if he'd want to do a commercial for us. He kindly obliged to have his picture taken. What a sport! Thanks, Dwayne. Happy gardening! We can be reached at 816-331-1067.

Here's a picture of one of our antique tractors getting ready to pull wagons of folks up to the pumpkin patch. First pull up starts on September 20!
See you soon!
The secret is out…Johnson's is the place for quality, selection, service and price!
A beautiful fly-over of the Johnson Farms facility.
The Johnson Family has been in the farming business for over thirty years, and we're excited about sharing the beauty of our 140 acre farm with you. For Fall 2010, we will be presenting a plentiful harvest from 60 acres of pumpkins and decorative produce, as well as hardy mums. We are a greenhouse in the spring, a summer produce purveyor in the summer and a pumpkin patch in the fall. We're proud of our family farm and want to share our enthusiasm with you. The Johnson Farm provides your family an opportunity to escape to the country and take pleasure in nature's bounty. We look forward to seeing you time and time again.
