About Rainbow Roots Farm
Rainbow Roots Farm, located 3 miles north of beautiful Iowa City, serves vegetables and eggs to the community through a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture- box of veggies every week for the growing season) membership. Iowa is ranked number 5 in the nation for number of organic farms and leads the nation in the production of several organic crops. Iowa City has a lot of potential to become the states hub for organic farming due to its ample diversity and a progressive population resulting from the University of Iowa being nuzzled right downtown. Rainbow Roots Farm will take pride in being heavily involved in the community by reaching out to the highly ranked public schools and working with children to help teach them about where their veggies are coming from and providing healthy after school snacks.
Rainbow Roots Farm will keep everything close to home; from buying seeds, potting soil, and tools from local, family owned or non-profit businesses in the community to not selling outside of a 15-mile radius.
The primary goal is to grow nutritious vegetables and educate the community about organics. The secondary goal is to practice regenerative farming and leave the land better than what it was previously. This will be done by sequestering carbon, fertilizing naturally, and attracting and homing lots of native pollinators and other species.
By leasing land the first couple of years, it will allow Rainbow Roots Farm to build finances while finding the perfect place to call a forever home.
