So far, the following have become Okanis Garden market customers in this, the garden’s inaugural year:
Community Mercantile Deli; Community Mercantile Produce Department; Genovese, La Parrilla, and Zen Zero; WheatFields Bakery Cafe; Downtown Lawrence Farmers' Market; Okanis Community Supported Agriculture Subscribers. We are grateful for these customers dedicated to supporting the local Kaw Valley food system! Proceeds of Okanis Garden sales benefit Prairie Moon Waldorf School.
Pictured is (1) a sign designating Prairie Moon as the local farm source for one batch of tomatoes for sale on a Community Mercantile Produce Dept. display; (2) the four remaining pints of Okanis Yellow Bell Heirloom tomatoes for sale--many more pints had already been sold! (The "Conventional" sign means that the Okanis Garden is not "certified organic," even though the gardeners follow organic practices. There is a years-long process to become truly "certified organic.")
