What a great Saturday at the Market of Farms at the Kansas Star Casino Event Center in Mulvane! We were thrilled to see several Border Queen Harvest Hub members showcasing their amazing products and sharing a little taste of what makes our local food community so special.
A big THANK YOU to each of these businesses for being part of the event and representing the Hub so well!

They also brought frozen take-and-bake meals, including bierocks, chicken pot pies, enchiladas, and kolaches, along with bread mixes, beeswax body products, upcycled vintage quilt creations, and candied nuts!
We were especially excited to have some of our newer members, including Sunflower Bros Farm and Onyxcreek Coffee, joining us, along with Faith & Flour. One of the things we love most about the Border Queen Harvest Hub is helping small businesses get their products in front of new customers. We hope this event gave these businesses a wonderful boost and helped more people discover just how much talent and quality we have right here in our region!
And judging by the shoppers leaving with bags full of goodies and all the wonderful comments about the assortment of products available, it was a success! There was truly something for everyone.
To all of our members who participated: Thank you for showing up, sharing your products, supporting local agriculture, and helping strengthen our regional food community!
When you shop local, you aren't just buying a product. You're supporting a family, a dream, and the people who make our communities special.
