Urban Farming in Olathe, KS

Frank Gieringer’s farm sits on 80 acres acres in rural Edgerton.

Gieringer and his wife, Melanie, began growing peach trees in 2001, and they started selling the fruit — at a profit — at farmers markets and the store they’ve built near their home.

“It’s kind of a hobby that got out of control,” he joked.

Gieringer said the market for his products — which now also include sweet corn, tomatoes and blackberries — has increased this year.

Wouldn't you love to be able to do that?
