From Our Farm
Biodiverse Garden & Orchard
Before all, we consider ourselves as Microbial farmers. Taking care of soil health is our main priority. Beautiful nutritious food will follow. Learn about our no-dig approach to growing produce and flowers.
Pasture Raised Poultry
Candles
Our poultry have a high protein diet consuming from an all you can eat insect buffet and supplemented with local organic feed. Moving them to fresh grass daily allows us to offer hormone and antibiotic free high quality meat and eggs.
Luxury candles made of a coconut wax blend with a crackling wooden wick, designed to give you the feeling of sitting by a fire. Fragranced to make you feel emersed in the thriving ecosystem of our farm.
Our Mission
Our mission at The Hungry Thumb is twofold. First, we strive to provide a farm for the local residents of Eastern Iowa where they can enjoy special activities and purchase high quality produce, meat and other specialty items. Secondly, we make it a rule to only partake in responsible farming practices in order to protect the environment. We do this by building soil health using only organic materials and striving to regenerate the land we have committed our livelihood to. Our amazing farm is exactly what you and your family need to enjoy food that you can feel good about.
Find us at the Kalona Farmers Market Saturdays 9am-12pm next to the Kalona Brewery.
