This week has been up and down as far as the weather is concerned. We've gone from an icy winter wonderland to an absolute muddy mess! Clifford, our farm dog is living it up with the conditions and literally making tracks everywhere he goes. This freeze and thaw business is wearing it's welcome out in short fashion!
As for farm business, we had a busy week fixing a water leak in one of the greenhouses, cut lots of wood for the stove and worked on profit and loss statements. We also hosted some visitors at the farm on Wednesday. The University of Missouri's- College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources had an elite group of freshman and sophmore students come hang out with us for a few hours to learn about our farm operation and the challenges facing local growers. With 3 of us being Mizzou alums, it was great to get back in touch with old friends and make some new ones with these students, faculty and staff.
Last night we had the opportunity to have dinner with the group at TrezoMares Restaurant located at Braircliff Village in Kansas City. We're fortunate to supply TrezoMares with our fresh grown produce throughout our growing seasons and the people there are as awesome as the food they serve!
Check out both sites!

About Us
- Fahrmeier's Market Master
- Lexington, Missouri, United States
- In 1947, Fahrmeier Farms began as a diversified livestock and row crop farm operation in Lafayette County, near Lexington, MO. In 2001, the traditional agriculture farm began a transformation into a farm garden turning some of the row crop fields into fresh produce fields and near the old hog farrowing house stands a greenhouse business that has flourished. In 2008, the farm added a winery, Three Trails Winery at Fahrmeier Farms, to showcase the fruits of the families’ labor. The wine list features wines made from grapes grown at our farm, raspberries raised and picked at their peak from our produce fields, and juicy peaches plucked during their summer growing season from our roadside market orchard.
