Six vegetables. A week of real cooking.

A curated selection of six everyday cooking vegetables sourced from small Midwest farms — everything you need to build a week of dinners without a grocery run. Expect a mix of aromatics and seasonal produce: onions, garlic, carrots, celery, zucchini, peppers, sweet potatoes, or whatever is at peak from our farm partners that week. Grown in real soil without synthetic pesticides, harvested close to delivery, and selected for flavor and versatility.

Best for: soups, stews, stir-fries, roasting, sheet-pan dinners, building flavor bases
Cooks like: varies by vegetable — most benefit from high-heat roasting or slow sweating in fat
Handling: keep refrigerated; most last 5 to 10 days; garlic and onions store at room temperature

Sourced from small Midwest farms. Grown without shortcuts.

Best micro greens

These are sweet, spicy and fresh. I love them on everything but especially on top of eggs.
Side note: it said these were not available this week and I would receive a refund on my receipt. 2 days later they were hanging on my door handle, delivered fresh from Local Leaf themselves! Thank you so much. Just the best service from both Iron and Acre and Local Leaf!

Big pops-great tasting popcorn great Price!

I tried both the White and the yellow popcorn from Doudlah Farms. They were both great but the white is a smaller popped kernel. The yellow kernels are so amazing large and crisp ike Orville Redenbacher but better. No crap in the corn, no GMO! You can taste the difference.
Both the yellow and the white popcorns are amazing, my preference is the yellow popcorn. Thank you for having such great products! This is what I will bring to the movie theater instead of buying their GMO soybean covered buttered popcorn. I used Nordic fresh butter from my delivery on top and it's amazing. Thanks iron and Acre!

These were the best deviled eggs we have ever made. Usually fresh eggs aren't good for deviled eggs but these were amazing. Thank you.

The best produce and meats around

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.

Best shrimp

These are some of the best tasting shrimp ever. A little work to get them cleaned up, to take the shells off and pull out the veins but I've made them three different ways: garlic scampi, shrimp tacos and a shrimp broccoli cream sauce for pasta. Quick to cook and the best I've ever had. Super tender and no aftertaste like store-bought shrimp. 1 lb were quite a lot for the price.

Parsnip and Sweet potatoes at their best

Both of these vegetables smelled so fresh once I opened up the box. Peeled them both and made parmesan fries. 425 roasted in the oven tossed with a little olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika and cornstarch to make them crispy. So amazing and fresh. Easy and tasty. We wanted more! The rest of the sweet potatoes, we roasted whole with a little bit of butter and salt and pepper and they just are so amazing and tender. We're loving the seasonal vegetables from Iron and Acre!

Best Avocado I have ever had

I guess I was so used to store bought avocados I didn't know the difference. These avocados I received one big one and three small ones were amazing. They came nice and fresh and hard and took their time ripening up and have been amazing on Avocado toast with the farm fresh eggs and the microgreens on top. It was even better on our tacos tonight.

This Food Is Amazing!

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! My kids, who are picky, devoured scrambled eggs with the sourdough. The microgreens it came with in my delivery are so good with everything. If you're on the fence about this, its worth it, trust me. We give our kids organic everything, no junk, but we were getting our meat and produce from a chain grocery store, so I felt like I was still not 100% all in on their healthy eating because it was organic but from across the world. Not anymore! Thanks!

Best Salmon fresh and real

Most salmon you buy in the store is factory farmed and is filled with parasites and pesticides.
This salmon is so fresh. Out of the package, it should smell like nothing not like fish And it did. Yeah!!!
I seasoned with salt and pepper, cooked in olive oil then added garlic and butter to bast after the flip. Took salmon out, added garlic and lemon juice and poured on top. It turned out phenomenal. Simple and good. I will buy this again and again. Thank you Iron and Acre for bringing us the best food to the area.

Fresh Farm Eggs with Rich Flavor

High quality farm eggs with deep, vibrant yolks and tight, firm whites. Fresh, rich flavor. Loved these over easy as well as scrambled. They didn’t even last through the weekend.

This is genuinely the best ground beef I’ve ever had

This is genuinely the best ground beef I’ve ever had. The flavor and quality are on another level. I completely agree with Iron & Acre that once you try really good grass-fed beef, it’s hard to go back. We’ve used it for burgers, tacos, and several other meals, and every time I’m reminded just how much better it is. Absolutely worth it and something we’ll continue buying.
