Echollective Farm and CSA

879 Echo Avenue
515-201-5593

Echollective Farm is a farming enterprise located 25 minutes from Iowa City. A cluster of farmers, interns, and volunteers cultivate 14 acres with a wide array of vegetables, herbs, flowers, and hay; and steward 20 forested acres including a creek. We've been farming for 9 years at Echollective, always using organic and sustainable practices. You already know our produce from New Pi Co-op, Iowa City's finest restaurants, and of course the downtown Iowa City Farmer's Market.

We also have a CSA!! Deliveries will be made to Iowa City, Cedar Rapids, Davenport, and Desmoines for the 2010 season. Contact us for more information.

We select varieties of our vegetables based on their flavor, nutritional content, and uniqueness! Vegetables at supermarkets are selected for their uniformity and their ability to be shipped long distances.

Every week, we send out a newsletter with farm updates and the weekly box's contents via email, as well as posting it on our Blog.

Here is a sample of the contents of a box from last year: peas, fennel, green shallot, bok choi, salad mix, leek, garlic scape, basil (purple, lemon & traditional italian this week!), napa cabbage, beets, salad turnips, kohlrabi, cilantro, parsley, & dill.
