Backyard's Harvest provides organic and farm fresh produce. We grow over 80 varieties for our CSA members to enjoy, buy in seasonal specialty crops from other Iowa growers like apples, pears, peaches, cherries, blueberries, etc, and include foraged items from the central Iowa area like mulberries, raspberries, oyster mushrooms, chicken of the woods, greens, and even morels(if were lucky!). Each box is worth approximately $30.00.
