Pendleton's Country Market
Pendleton's Country Market is a diversified farm featuring vegetables, bedding plants and cut flowers. You can but direct from our farm market, at the Lawrence Farmers Market, and the Farmers Market at Clinton Parkway. We market much of our vegetable production through a CSA program with 200 subscribers; flowers are sold at the markets and used for weddings and events.
We have expanded our online offerings, and invite customers to order online, and pick up from our market's front porch. For some crops, customers are invited to "pick-their-own", allowing families to enjoy the farm experience.
Plants and Flowers
When growing bedding plants for your garden or cut flowers for your table, we take extra care with each and every plant on our property to make sure they are of quality for you. We not only grow some of the most beautiful flowers in the midwest, but we can also arrange them to help create some of the most beautiful and memorable weddings and events.
At the Farm
Everything on the farm is seasonal. Sign up for our crop update emails to keep up on what's available at the farm. Also, be sure to like us on Facebook for more up-to-the-minute crop reports. We are located int he Kaw River Valley, where the country air and neighborly service provide a relaxing environment to shop for fresh vegetables, flowers, and garden gifts.

About the Pendletons
“John is equal part passionate farmer, skilled mechanic, nature lover and avid entomologist. A quick trip around the farm will have you encounter hard-working, yet passive bumble bees that do the bulk of the pollinating in the Pendleton’s hydroponic tomato shed. You’ll also see beautiful butterflies arrive, pollinate and go on their way. John loves all of it. He’ll fix a tractor, do farm work and still be able to tell you where the newest birds nest full of eggs is around the farm. John can be found most days driving customers around on his vintage tractor as he shows eager pickers where the best harvest of the day is.”
“Karen is an enthusiastic farmer, dedicated educator and incredible tour guide. She has a passion for teaching people about agriculture, whether it’s about which plants to put in partial shade or the process behind how they grow their vegetables.”
“But most importantly, their passion is to farm together. Their relationship and connection with each other is one that makes you believe in something again. It’s something to get excited about… like the first ripe tomato of summer.”
– From Kansas Farmer, by Scott Stebner.
Pendleton's CSA Cookbook
You will find this book contains recipes that are a little heavy on the "not so well known" vegetables. We've found that kale, kohlrabi, okra and eggplant are not as familiar to many of our members, and we try to provide more uses for these. It's the old, "try it, you'll like it" idea! Of course we've also included lots of our favorite recipes for many other vegetables and fruits that will be found in our weekly bags.
