Room 39 Winter Dinner Menu
Featured Farmer
Thane Palmberg, Desoto, KS
Ever the quintessential farmer, conversations with Thane keep me connected to the seasons, his soil and the skies.
His farm in the Kansas River valley outside Desoto will supply us this month with our swiss chard, potatoes, onions,
summer squash , okra and eggplant. Last summer Thane discovered a new variety of nettles growing in the shady
sections of his property stretching the season for nettles until almost Thanksgiving. Thane married his wife Edith in 1970
and started farming with her dad, Edgar, in 1973. The family, a fixture at the City Market since 1932, has “never sold a
piece of produce that they didn’t raise themselves” . Thank You Thane! — Ted Habiger
