Description

We are planning another CSA Veggie Venture this spring/summer and you're invited to participate! We are a 5th generation family farm, located one mile east of Donnellson, IA that strives to be an ecologically friendly farm and that firmly believes in being good stewards of the land. We pride ourselves in choosing our vegetable varieties only according to their superb flavor, not length of shelf life. Each week, your bag will include several varieties of in-season freshly picked vegetables from our farm. One bag will provide enough fresh veggies for several meals each week. In addition, each customer will receive a weekly newsletter, through e-mail, that will talk about the happenings on our farm, pictures from our garden, and share helpful cleaning/storing tips and health benefits of the veggies you will be receiving, as well as mention what veggies you should expect to see in your bag the following week.

A typical bag might feature one pound of green beans, 3-4 pounds of new potatoes, 2-3 cucumbers, 5-6 tomatoes, 2 summer squash, green peppers and/or eggplant. And of course, we hope to have sweet corn beginning in early July through the end of August.

We will also be offering additional produce for sale at our roadside harvest barn at the farm all summer long. If you have company coming, need a thoughtful and healthy produce gift basket for someone, or would like to can or freeze your favorite veggies, come visit us at the farm. Be sure to check our website for weekly produce availability.

Visit our working farm just one mile east of Donnellson, Iowa, where we feature over 175 varieties of pumpkins, squash, gourds, and ornamentals at our roadside open air market. Our mission is to provide a fun, safe, educationally based rural fall festival experience for families by offering unique hands-on agricultural related activities, food, and an outdoor market featuring our homegrown pumpkins, squash, gourds, and ornamentals.
