| The Berry Patch Farm has grown strawberries,
raspberries, vegetables and apples since 1970. Come see us at the farm
or meet us at one of the many local farmer's markets in central Iowa.
When you visit our farm you will see that we grow what we sell, and
just do what we do. There is no carnival, no cotton candy etc. to
detract from the genuine quiet of the country.
We use sustainable farming
techniques in all of our crops. Some are produced organically and other
crops are produced utilizing the latest integrated pest management
techniques (IPM). We use a great deal of compost for fertilizer and
weed control. Drip irrigation makes the best use of our pure well water
to produce top quality apples and berries for you.
