"Easy to pick what you want and the best quality in the area. The Majesty purple potatoes were amazing. The lettuce from Local Leaf was amazing and the eggs are always phenomenal."

"I received my first order yesterday. Everything from chicken breast and ground beef, to eggs and sourdough. Incredible. We even did breakfast for dinner last night so we could dive into the food ASAP!"

"These are some of the best tasting shrimp ever. A little work to get them cleaned up, but I've made them three different ways: garlic scampi, shrimp tacos and a shrimp broccoli cream sauce."

Why We Exist

The Biggest Barrier
Wasn't Interest.
It Was Access.

After years of cooking at home and driving to farmers markets, specialty shops, and farm stands, we realized the problem wasn't that people didn't care about where their food came from.

Iron & Acre connects serious home cooks directly with small Midwest farms so real food becomes part of normal life again.
