Food From Family Farms

Across the country, consumers are increasingly buying their produce, meat, eggs and dairy products from local farmers. You can do the same. Local farmers are aligned with your best interests and can establish a direct, and directly beneficial, food partnership with you.

You will see the benefits when you buy from farmers who use natural, sustainable methods:

  • Your nutritional intake improves as you and your family enjoy fresher, cleaner, better tasting food.

  • You support the health of the environment when you support local family farmers.

  • You can help assure there is an ongoing natural food supply when you buy from these producers.

CCI helps connect you to family farmers
To help you connect directly with family farms, Iowa CCI has created a
directory of family farmers across the state who sell directly to consumers like you.
