Trowel & Error Farm is a small vegetable farm located on 2 acres in Iowa City, west of downtown. We offer about 50 different kinds of vegetables - from roots like carrots and beets, to greens like lettuce and spinach - to folks who purchase a CSA share at the beginning of the season. We use organic practices and are committed to providing healthful produce while also building lively soil.

Carly has been a farmer for 13 seasons, and she is so excited to enter her 6th year of running Trowel & Error Farm! Please visit our website for information on how to join the CSA. Feel free to send us an email with any questions about the CSA or our farming practices. We look forward to growing with you this season!
