Ready... Set... Growing our farm we go!

9/7/2016

Starting our farming business has left us completely excited & scared to death all at the same time. We have been operating in a fabulously exhilarating & wonderfully exhausting state of consciousness for the last 2 months.

Our biggest news is that we have signed up with, listed, & sold our produce through the Iowa Food Cooperative. Today we dropped off our first products sold for distribution tomorrow. I have to mention that we sold all the produce that we listed. YEAH!!! Additionally, we have sold in the past couple years & will continue to sell our produce to our friends & family.

Through this adventure, onward & upward, we are so thankful to have amazingly supportive people in our lives. Thank you all for believing in us & enjoying our products so much that you help keep us motivated to produce more of them for you!

We are looking forward to being in this fabulously exhilarating & wonderfully exhausting state of consciousness for the rest of our lives.

Welcome!

We are Four Flags Farm, Armonda & Ben Riggs!

We enjoy giving new hobbies & projects a go, & sharing our adventures with you!

Our biggest venture thus far has been starting Four Flags Farm. Growing up with parents who gardened we both enjoyed growing & consuming fresh from our backyard produce. Now with our own property we are inspired & proud to be sustainable & regenerative agriculture practitioners.

Thank you for supporting us & our endeavors!

Anything you want to know in particular about the food cooperative? The hyperlink in the blog post will take you to our producer page with the Iowa Food Cooperative. The Iowa Food Cooperative website has a lot of information about the makeup of this cooperative. Otherwise, this Wikipedia page, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_cooperative, is a great resource on what a food cooperative is.
