Farms Near Leavenworth, KS

Leavenworth

Ken and Cindy Devan started Oregon Trail Farm after 28 years in the Army, settling near Fort Leavenworth to grow u-pick blueberries, blackberries and raspberries along the historic Santa Fe Trail. They built the soil with horse manure, more than 10,000 pounds of spent coffee grounds, and over 70 tons of diverted wood chips for weed control and water retention. The veteran-owned farm also sells free-range eggs and honey.

Leavenworth

Salt Creek Valley Farms spans roughly 300 acres along the Santa Fe Trail, with U-pick strawberries, sweet corn, and pumpkins depending on the month. Fall visitors get a corn maze, hayrides, a bakery, and farm animals to feed. The farm runs seasonally, open May through October, and closes for winter. It's a working farm first — the agritourism side grew up around actual row crops and produce, not the other way around.

Leavenworth

Leavenworth's producer-only market runs under the pavilion at Haymarket Square, 7th and Cherokee, Saturdays 7 a.m. to noon from May through October and Wednesdays 3 to 6 p.m. from mid-May through September.

Hildebrandt Farm operates on 159th Street outside Leavenworth as a registered Kansas agritourism property. Public details on what's grown or sold here are limited online.
