Meulebeke Market is a new, growing family farm in Lenexa, KS
How it All Started
In the early 1900's five brothers immigrated to Johnson County, KS from a small town in Belgium called Meulebeke located in the province of West Flanders.
The brothers went on to become the most successful truck farmers and small businessmen in the Kansas City Area.

Fast forward over century later, we have reconnected with our family craft and started a new farm in the heart of Lenexa, KS on property that has been in the family for decades.
Last season to get started we planted over an acre of fruits and vegetables including zuccini, squash, sweet corn, bell pepper, watermelon, green beans and 750 tomato plants.
This year our diversity of produce will be expanded to include an acre consisting of 15,000 strawberries which will offered as U-Pick events.
In addition, other produce including lettuces and carrots will be added to the spring inventory and available both onsite and at the Lenexa Farmer's Market.
