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 2022 growing season is planned for a TOTAL of 25 weeks, from May 31st – November 19! With a couple of greenhouses in tow, we are able to extend the growing season longer than most, bringing you fresh local produce from our gardens 6 months out of the year!
We grow over 70 different vegetables, herbs, and fruit along with many different varieties of each thrown in for good measure. This page will give you a pretty good idea of what kinds of things you may become available during the seasons. This is not 100% accurate though, as we are unable to control the seasons and the weather that comes with it. We can’t give you an exact date of each thing we grow, but a pretty close guess with our farm planning.
