Patanatic Community Farm and Garden

With the support of the Lenexa Rotary  Club, Del Valle Club, Olathe Club and District 5710 the community of Patantic is implementing a Community Garden and Farm.

This garden will produce traditional vegetables (according to the season) such carrots, lettuce, onions, tomatoes, potatoes, corn, black beans, cilantro, and other food crops. The farm will have chickens, rabbits and goats.  All production of this community garden and farm will be utilized for the nutritional programs which focus on providing nutritional counseling for families to improve diets and reduce child mortality.

The community garden and farm will produce its own organic fertilizer and insecticides and select native seeds which will reduce costs and increase vegetable production.

To ensure the sustainability and continuity of this project local leaders and local nurses have been trained to take the lead with this initiative.
