About Us
Welcome to Heartland Fresh Family Farm! We’re thrilled you’re here. Our family farm is located in the rolling hills of southeast Iowa, and is operated by myself, my husband Mark, our son, Lauren, our daughter Grace, and the most recent addition to our herd, our son Ben! We also get a lot of help from our Border Collie, Socks, a pack of felines led by a large tomcat named Rascal, and four horses.
