“This is my home. I love Kansas City,” Michael says. “And Kansas
City people deserve what we can give them. This is a bigger picture
than just me and The Farmhouse. These are all locals that have immense
talent. We do what we do because it’s the right thing to do. And
because it tastes amazing.” ■

A self-professed foodie whose kitchen essentials include bacon, blue cheese, a French press and Sriracha,
Charity Ohlund can be found eating her way through Kansas City's culinary scene with her executive chef
husband. Her food and restaurant writing has been published in Reader's Digest and KC Magazine and on Frothy-
Girlz.com and Yahoo.com. Charity graduated from the University of Kansas with a journalism degree in 1998. She
worked for Fairmont Hotels and Resorts in Scottsdale and Chicago as head concierge. Moving to KC in 2006,
Charity was wowed (and grateful) to find that the culinary scene holds its own against bigger cities. She worked
at The Capital Grille in KC for several years as a server. The Food Network is the background noise in her house.
