Shepherd's Valley

Located in the flint hills tall grass prairie of east central Kansas, Shepherd's Valley is a family owned diversified farm featuring organically grown fruits, vegetables, herbs, meats, and eggs direct marketed to consumers. The fruits, vegetables, and herbs are available weekly through three seasonal CSA subscription share programs. The Spring CSA share runs 7 weeks from mid-April through May. The main season Summer Share runs 13 weeks from June through August. The Fall Share extends the season 8 more weeks from September through the end of October. Our Winter Green fresh salad greens and cold-hardy crops are available locally on an "as-we-have-it" basis. We have been providing wholesome foods to our customers using chemical-free, biologically sound methods for over 40 years. We follow organic, regenerative, and sustainable principles in all aspects of the farm.

Shepherd's Valley raises pastured poultry including broilers, heritage turkeys, and farm fresh eggs. Customers tell us our broilers remind them of that old-fashioned chicken flavor they remember when they were kids - "just like Grandma used to serve." Our pampered hens lay gorgeous large brown eggs that are a real treat - delighting bakers, chefs, and breakfast eaters. Heritage breeds and broad-breasted bronze turkeys are raised for the Thanksgiving table. Like all of our poultry, these beautiful birds are raised on lush green pastures and fed certified organic grains and trace mineral supplements. No vaccinations, antibiotics, hormones, pesticides, or medicated feeds are used in the production of our birds.

Grass fed Corriedale sheep and lambs provide our customers with premium table fare and beautiful handspinner wool. A growing number of hand spinning enthusiasts are discovering our prize-winning wool fleeces. Our lambs are 100% naturally grown on Psalm 23 green pastures and hay. Everyone who tries our lamb meat comes back for more! A number of area chefs find no comparison equal to Shepherd's Valley lamb.

We are beekeepers as well, providing our customers with honey and bee pollen, and value-added products such as jams and jellies. You do not have to be a member of our CSA to purchase farm products, however our shareholders receive first priority.

Shepherd's Valley is located northwest of Americus, Kansas We are a 20 minute drive from Emporia and an hour's scenic drive from both Topeka and Manhattan.
