About Us
In 1989,unable to buy heirloom organic garlic in the central Iowa area,some prime garden spots became available and garlic was planted.

Since then this operation has changed in size and location more than once. The commitment to working with nature to produce the finest possible food remains constant.

Currently growing at the Iowa Gold Farm near Woodward provides easy access to the markets in Des Moines as well as great soils to work with.

Practices (our standards for raising or making our products)
This is a very small operation where everything is done by hand and with a Troybuilt Tiller. Well worked manure compost was incorporated into the garden a year ago with no additional fertilizer required this year.
