We are a 27-acre Iowa farm situated where the Driftless meets the wind of the open plain located in Cresco, Iowa. Our acreage is a sanctuary for wildlife, native grasses and includes a pond, a small creek, and established trees. The homestead harkens back to the early 1900s. It includes the original farmhouse, renovated dairy barn and many other outbuildings. We grow chemical-free produce, mushrooms and flowers. We invite guests for u-picks, retreats, farm-to-table meals, overnight stays and weddings, while honoring a fading and simpler way of living. As educators, athletes and homesteaders we have designed a place to connect with yourself, others and the land.
