"Gardens, scholars say, are the first sign of commitment to a community. When people plant corn they are saying, let's stay here. And by their connection to the land, they are connected to one another."
-  Anne Raver

 
 

Sadly... 

Due to the severe drought and heat, despite extraordinary efforts, the majority of our crops have failed for the 2012 Season.  Those that are still alive are producing undersized vegetables with very poor yields.  We have created a page that shows some images of fields and crop plants.  You can click here if you would like to view it.

However, our chickens are thriving thanks to additional efforts and producing beautiful, ORGANIC EGGS.  We also have some HERBS, even though many have already begun their seeding.

About Us
Located in Lincoln County, Missouri, MKS Homestead Farm is a registered and licensed business, but we are completely family owned and operated.

Although considered a small scale farm, we believe in offering a large variety in order to keep meal times interesting. 

Currently, we are using 5 acres for farming and managing our chicken flock for egg production.  We are committed to producing only naturally raised, healthy produce without the use of pesticides or chemicals, and insure quality by inspecting and hand harvesting everything on a weekly basis.  Yes, it takes hard work but believe in the worth of it.

With our current Organic practices, we are working toward receiving our USDA Certified Organic status.

Our future plans include the increase of land use for crop production dedicated to Agritourism availability, which includes more CSA shares, continued Subscription eMail availability and even a "You-Pick" farm which would be open to the public on an appointment basis.

We are also considering adding additional livestock such as meat and milk goats.

We Are Very Proud of Our Chickens...
We have received quite a few inquiries about our chickens and eggs such as their care and handling.  So, we have created a page dedicated just to them which also answers some of the questions we have received.
