Blue Gate Farm is a small family farm in Marion County, Iowa, growing chemical-free vegetables, herbs, fruits and flowers.
We believe food should be grown close to home, with care for the land and the people who eat it. Our farming practices focus on building healthy soil, supporting pollinators, and working with natural systems instead of relying on synthetic inputs.
Through our VegEmail and Bounty Box (CSA/farm membership) programs, we offer year-round access to high-quality produce, farm-made pantry goods, and thoughtfully sourced products from trusted partner farms.
When you shop with Blue Gate Farm, you’re supporting local agriculture, environmental stewardship, and a community-centered food system.
We’re grateful for your trust—and excited to be your farmers!
We have a virtual farm stand called VegEmail. We deliver to Singlespeed Brewing Co in Des Moines and the Grand Theater in Knoxville every other Wednesday from Nov-April and every Saturday from May-Oct. Pick up on the farm is also available.
