Make a Donation, Make an Impact

Over the past decade, Healthy Harvest of North Iowa has been bringing community partners together, providing education and technical support to producers, increasing capacity of local farmers’ markets, and developing the local food system in North Iowa to create opportunities, but we can’t do this work alone. It’s because of numerous organizations, producers, and individuals just like YOU who believe in the importance of a local food system that we are seeing a growing number of restaurants who are promoting the use of local product, producers who are diversifying into vegetable and meat production, and customers who are asking where their food was raised. 

Join us as we continue to create opportunities for North Iowans to pursue their dreams and strengthen our communities. Your support will allow the Healthy Harvest team to provide education, marketing, project support, and regional system development for our local farmers, producers, and eaters!  We invite you to make a tax-deductible donation today. Your support is instrumental in advancing our mission and creating lasting positive change in our community.

Rae Solomon - Special to Harvest Public Media
The Farm-to-School movement is out to revolutionize the humble school lunch with food grown on local farms. But the path from cropland to cafeteria is full of complicated twists and turns. A new wave of federal funding is trying to smooth the way.

Bridging the Gap from Farm to Table

Even though more than 85% of Iowa land is used for farming, most of us can’t really pinpoint where our meat, produce and dairy products are actually produced. About 90% of the food in our grocery stores comes from out of state, according to Iowa State University Extension and Outreach.

Healthy Harvest of North Iowa is working to change that.
