Bio of Susan Rommelfanger: My love of gardening blossomed under the guidance of my father who encouraged and inspired me from a very young age. I find it empowering and awe-inspiring to put in the work, bury something deep, nurture it, then watch it grow into something beautiful.
Ever since I was a little girl it's been my dream to bring fresh, locally grown, sustainably produced foods to my community and the surrounding communities.
Susan Rommelfanger of Romy Farms shares her journey of sustainable farming on 52 acres in the Flint Hills of Kansas, where she grows produce year-round using innovative high tunnels while nurturing strong community connections. Through her CSA program, apiary, and educational initiatives, Susan demonstrates how small-scale farming can create meaningful relationships between producers and consumers while providing fresh, local food.
• Operating two high tunnels (hoop houses) that extend the growing season throughout the year
• Running a vibrant 17-member Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program
• Producing raw wildflower honey through their apiary
• Raising chickens and ducks for egg production
• Creating a "Story Walk" that combines literacy with outdoor experiences for families
• Hosting weekly open days (Saturdays 1-4pm) for community members to visit the farm
• Building strong relationships between consumers and farmers through weekly communication
• Supporting local agriculture and keeping tax dollars in the community
