About the Farm

Background

Founded in Iowa, the farm has been a site of various agricultural activities, from harvesting a bounty of produce to creating a new pond. The farm is known for its family-oriented approach, with children actively participating in farm life and learning from nature's phenomena, such as double rainbows and seasonal changes.

Practices

The farm employs square foot gardening, a method that maximizes produce yield from small spaces through raised beds. This technique is particularly beneficial for those with limited space or urban settings. Additionally, the farm emphasizes food preservation, including canning and freezing, to ensure a year-round supply of homegrown produce. The land is also being developed to include a pond, which will serve as an alternative water source for gardens and animals.

The Rest

The farm experiences and documents seasonal changes, from the first snow of the season to the vibrant signs of fall. They also engage in community activities, sharing produce and learning experiences with friends and neighbors. The farm's future plans include expanding their raised bed gardens and further developing their food preservation techniques.
