Hydroponic

Our microgreens, leafing greens (lettuce, spinach, kale) and herbs (basil, thai basil) are grown at our indoor grow space hydroponically. The microgreens are grown with water ONLY, and seeded on certified organic soil. Our leafing greens and herbs are grown in rockwool cubes, and a basic nutrient solution is added to provide the needed macro (N, P, K) and micronutrients (Mg, Ca).

Soil Grown Produce

All of our soil grown crops (tomatoes, cucumbers, beans, summer squash, etc…) are grown on the former Weirich Field. Though we are not certified organic, we do our utmost to care for the soil and surrounding habitat (we eat what we grow and care just as much as you do about what we put in our bodies). We have eliminated tillage (using a broadfork to loosen soil), use crop rotation to improve the nutrient health of our soil and manage pests, add supplemental nutrients through composted chicken and horse manure. We also manage pests through hand removal, use of diatomaceous earth, Neem Oil, and certified organic approved treatment methods when needed.

Leafy Greens

Our hydroponically grown leafing greens are part of our participation in the Dubuque Community Block Grant program. Therefore, 51 % of our leafing greens are provided to community members/organizations that serve low/mod income individuals. The other portion is available for purchase by restaurants and individuals.

Eggs

We currently have a wide variety of chicken breeds (of varying ages) that lay eggs which we offer for sale throughout the year. Along with our chickens, we have an expanding flock of ducks whose eggs are also for sale (when available). Both of our flocks are expanding to allow for a more consistent egg supply. We are also supplying eggs to HolyFamily Catholic Schools as part of a Grow it, Eat it grant partnership with their Urban Agriculture Entrepreneurship Course.

Vining and Fruiting Crops

All of our vining and fruiting crops are currently grown in our soil beds seasonally. We currently grow a large quantity of green beans, summer squash (zucchini and yellow squash), tomatoes (cherry, slicer, roma) for restaurants and community clients. We also offer other produce like eggplant, bell peppers, potatoes, onions, green onions, to retail clients seasonally.

Rooting Crops

All of our rooting crops are grown in our soil beds seasonally, and often in conjunction with our student CSA staff. We currently grow a variety of radishes, carrots, beets, potatoes and onions, most of which is offered to our retail clients seasonally through our website or farmers market.

Shop

Freeze Dried Goods

Our freeze dried product offerings stemmed from a desire to preserve an abundance of seasonal produce. Out of that desire has come some staple snack options like our Lemon Basil Sea Salt Cherry tomatoes, along with our Apple Cinnamon "Honest" Bars. We also offer a revolving selection of Frosted n' Filled Cheesecake squares, because there is always room for a little dessert, especially when it is sooooo good!

Shop

Prepared Goods

One of our first over abundance items that we ever took to market was our zucchini bread, and that quickly became a favorite. So we offer a variety of zucchini bread flavors, along with our dairy-free pesto. Both are made with produce that we grow (zucchini & basil), and other quality ingredients.
