Farms in Muscatine, IA

Muscatine · CSA Farm

Seeded Earth grows specialty cut flowers on a few acres just outside Muscatine and sells them through a floral CSA rather than a vegetable box. Subscribers pick up bouquets Tuesdays from 3 to 6 p.m. or Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. The farm also does floral design for weddings and runs workshops for anyone who wants to learn arranging. It's a flower farm first, not a produce operation.

Muscatine

Muscatine · Farmers Market

A second, smaller market in Muscatine sets up in the Calvary Church parking lot on US-61, open seasonally from May through October. Vendors here sell the usual fruits, vegetables, honey, and baked goods, plus a couple of less common finds for an Iowa farmers market: raw wool and locally made wine. It's a different crowd and a different lot than the downtown Saturday market across town.
