Changing the way we look at food

Our Mission

We rely on farmers every single day—three times a day, at least. From the clothes on our backs to the beer in our glasses, their work shapes our lives in more ways than we realize. At our farm, we take pride in growing the healthiest food possible—not just for people, but for the planet too. Our mission is rooted in respect: for the environment, for our team, and for each other as worker-owners. We believe farming shouldn't come at the cost of exploitation. Instead, we’re committed to growing with our community, creating space for people to connect with their food, their land, and the process behind it all.

“To cherish what remains of the Earth and to foster its renewal is our only legitimate hope of survival.”

— Wendell Berry, American environmental activist, novelist, and farmer

Our Farming Practices:

Certified Organic through the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship.
40 acres of diversified vegetable production.
Compost and local animal manure applied to fields every fall.
Crop rotation each year to make sure we follow heavy soil feeders with light soil feeders to make sure the soil recovers from the needy crops. For example, we follow cherry tomatoes (heavy feeders) with Lettuce (light feeders).
Care for our employees with a livable wage and bonuses when we do well.

Reduced tillage practices to care for soil health and keep carbon in the soil that the plants have sequestered.
Work hard to connect the community to their food with tours, field trips, presentations, etc.
No use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides.
Year round production to get local food in our community’s bellies 365 days per year.
Proudly run by a group of passionate, young farmers.
Accepts folks from all backgrounds and groups.
