ABOUT
IOWA
GROWN
A great love for Iowa, the outdoors, and fresh, natural foods were the inspirations that lead Vince Waters and Bethany Fischer to create Iowa Grown LLC in 2012. What started as a hobby quickly blossomed into the vibrant small farm they own today.
"Our mission is to grow good plants and produce! We believe in sustainable farming using organic practices, conducting good land stewardship, creating diverse green spaces and preserving a healthy soil."
RESPONSIBILITY
As farmers, we have a strong desire to provide fresh, healthy produce and plants while caring for the land that sustains us.
We continually work to reduce our environmental impact by implementing new techniques, creative ideas, and innovative ways to make small-scale vegetable farming economical, sustainable and obtainable by all.
COMMUNITY
Sustaining local growers keeps fresh and healthy food close to home.
When you choose local, you're investing in the land, the people, and a more resilient food system for everyone.
It means you are directly benefiting the local economy while also building a stronger community.
STEWARDSHIP
​
For generations on our family farm in Cedar County, conservation efforts have been implemented to re-establish wildlife habitat and to cultivate healthy soil.
​
This includes the restoration of native prairie grasses and wildflowers, the creation of shallow-water wetlands, and extensive reforestation of native trees and shrubs.
​
Between these wetlands, fields and forests is where Iowa Grown grows produce and plants for local families.
​
We use small equipment, limited tillage, and sustainable and organic practices that protect our soil and environment.
As farmers, we are stewards of the land and pride ourselves in our careful management of our fields.
