Small Potatoes Farm is an intensively
managed, certified organic, human-scale
farm, focused on raising the highest quality,
best-tasting vegetables in central Iowa. Our
varieties are chosen with an eye toward taste
and quality.

We sell to individuals and households directly
as possible, primarily through our CSA.

Besides being certified organic by a federally
recognized certifying agency, we are always
striving for additional environmentally
sustainable practices.

We believe our success is based on
equitable relationships with those who eat
our food.

Our Mission
November 2011
I feel for the bees as there are
few flowers left blooming on the
farm. At least around the house,
some mums provide some last
meals.
Island of green in a sea of brown.
Oats should stay green above 25/26
degrees. When they winter kill, they
will provide a nice winter cover for
the soil.
My row of zinnias are gone, but the
Austrian winter peas and oats look
great.
The row covers give this lettuce a
couple degrees protection and have
worked very well this fall.
Stacy doing the drain the hose routine
so its not frozen the next morning.
Nothing creates anxiety like frozen
hoses on a harvest morning.
Tillie finally chose 'Wonder Woman' over 'Superman' for
Halloween 2012. If you are interested, you can watch Lynda
Carter in her satin tights fight crime over and over and over
again on the WB network for free. (Thanks Abby!)
