About the Farm
Background
Located in southeast Iowa, this farm has carved out a niche for itself by focusing on safe and sustainable food production. While it has chosen not to pursue organic certification due to its small size, the farm has built a reputation for transparency and quality.
Practices
The farm abstains from using any chemical pesticides, opting instead to fertilize its gardens with manure from its own animals. This closed-loop system ensures that the soil remains fertile and healthy without the need for synthetic inputs.
The Rest
The farm participates in the Saturday farmers market in Keosauqua and the Wednesday farmers market in Fairfield. Additionally, it offers twice-weekly pick-up times at the farm for pre-orders. Customers can join a weekly notification list via email to stay updated on available products.
