Located in the heart of Iowa (Cambridge) we pride ourselves in producing the finest quality of mushrooms you can find locally!

๐Ÿ— Chicken๐Ÿฅš Eggs๐Ÿฅ“ Pork

We are a small family farm raising our children to know where their food comes from and to appreciate quality. Our pigs, chickens and eggs are all raised USDA Certified Organic. Our goal is to provide high quality, nutrient dense food to feed our family and yours. Our pigs are farrowed right here on our farm by us in an open pen system. They have 24/7 access to the outdoors, where they have room to root and wallow at will. Our laying hens are free range - meaning they get out everyday to scratch in the grove and around the yard and pasture for bugs and plants. They are locked in at night for their safety. The broiler chickens are pasture raised in the spring/summer, so they have room to move about and get fresh greens and bugs. We can ship nation-wide, and we deliver weekly to the Ames/Huxley and Webster City/Eagle Grove areas. We're always happy to answer any questions you may have about our farm. Choose Iowa lists this farm's products as Chicken, Eggs, Other, Pork and Organic.
