Grinnell Heritage Farm

1933 Penrose Street
641-236-4374

Grinnell Heritage Farm is a certified organic farming operation owned and operated by Andrew and Melissa Dunham. Andrew is a 5th generation Iowa farmer. The 80 acre farm, located northeast of Grinnell, has been in the family for over 150 years.

Grinnell Heritage Farm offers 40+ varieties of produce to CSA shareholders including heirloom and Slow Food USA Ark varieties. We attend Grinnell, Des Moines, Cedar Rapids Downtown, and Iowa City markets and provide produce to numerous area restaurants and grocery stores. Open houses in the late afternoon of every third Saturday of the month from May through October showcase various aspects of the operation.

Every week, you will pick up a box packed full of enough fresh, organic produce to feed approximately 2-4 people. The following week we ask that you return your empty box. The selections will vary from week to week, depending on what is in season. You can count on a wide variety of vegetables and herbs, including familiar (e.g. carrots, potatoes, and beans) and unusual (e.g. romanesco and celeriac) items and heirloom varieties. Our Grinnell Heritage Farm CSA newsletter complements the share with news from the farm, recipes, and storage tips.
