Did you know you can purchase our products from the Iowa Food Cooperative? We are so proud to be producers. If you are interested in becoming a member send us a message! It's super easy and cheaper than Amazon. Plus your dollars support people in your community. If you're a farmer and interested in becoming a producer, send us a message! Selling through the IFC takes the guesswork out of how much to harvest, unlike farmers markets. Plus it supports a robust local food economy!

We have SO MANY EGGS!
Spring Sale $6 a dozen. Message us for porch pick up TODAY!

Never tried a duck egg before? Here are some quick facts:

🦆 Duck eggs are GREAT for baking
🦆 Duck eggs are larger and richer than 🐓 eggs
🦆 Duck eggs stay fresh longer because of their thick shells
🦆 Duck eggs contain 30% more protein, and a different type of protein that 🐓 chicken eggs so if allergic to chicken eggs, most can eat duck and visa versa.
Ounce for ounce, 🦆 duck eggs contain more Omega-3, Vitamins A and D, fatty acids, choline, folate, and iron than 🐓 chicken eggs.

We’ve been so busy!! And potentially expanding! Keep a look out for more exciting news coming soon! 💚

Harvest season was so busy we couldn’t even take photos. Now we’re processing the last of our abundance and storing seeds saved from our favorites. Along with drying herbs, teas, peppers. Curing squash and potatoes. Sand storing large root veggies and fermenting the small ones. Canning pepper jellies and tomatoes. Shelling & roasting hazelnuts. Planting garlic. And lastly, blanching and freezing kale before we rest and enjoy the winter. Hope everyone’s growing season went well!!! We sure learned a lot. 💚

We bought this wire basket thrifting last winter, when we were just beginning the idea of an urban farm. While we both had experience in growing food and beekeeping, fowl was a whole new territory and commitment we knew little about. Now months later seeing this basket with our first duck eggs feels like a symbol of all the hard work in between… And yes, this is “all our eggs in one basket” (haha).

08/17/2023

We’re swimming in tomatoes, basil, and wild harvested yellow oyster mushrooms. Come get some at our “barmers market” tonight at Maggie's Rumble Room. Parker will be there 7-9.
