WHAT WE GROW

Food is an important part of life, and we believe it should never be compromised. 
From seed to harvest, from pasture to plate, the whole growing process on our farm is important to us. We love sharing the farm bounty with Central Iowa families, and the benefits that come from eating the “old-fashioned” way. 

Our 2023 growing season is planned for a TOTAL of 22 weeks, from May 30th – October 26!  

We grow over 120+ different vegetables, herbs, and fruit, along with 200+ varieties thrown in for good measure. We also have many crops we grow for our farm teas as well as many plants we are experimenting with, that we don’t currently sell to the public. This page will give you a pretty good idea of what kinds of things may be available during the growing season. This is not 100% accurate though, as we are unable to control the weather. We can’t give you an exact date of each thing we grow, but a pretty close guess with our farm planning.
