Harvesting the Heartland: Stories of the Iowa Farmer

02/27/2022

Hey everyone! Over the last year we haven’t been doing much unfortunately. Brenda and I met yesterday morning to discuss our plans for this year! We need some help finding more Iowa farm families. This has been out hold up besides covid and some other personal things! We are charging ahead with the project still and don’t plan on stopping g to we meet our goals. If there are two things you could do for us it be great.

1. Share this page with your friends and family
2. If you know a farm family please talk to them about the project and send them my info to me! We really do need more families. That the only way we can keep the project rolling! Thanks for all the support in the years past! Pssssst. If your looking for great food. Like a cinnamon roll head on over to Hwy 30 Diner in Cedar Rapids!
