Certified organic vegetables grown near Decorah, Iowa
We’re Ethan and Carly Zierke. We started Sweet Season Farm in 2022 to make local food more approachable for our neighbors in Northeast Iowa.
Before we were farmers, we were totally new to the world of eating local food.
We didn’t know when tomato season actually started. We weren’t sure how to cut up the round, spaceship-looking kohlrabi we brought home. And we definitely let a few perfectly good vegetables end up in the compost because we didn’t store them right.
That’s why we built our farm to help.
If you care about cooking from scratch and supporting local food — but want help figuring it all out — you’re in the right place.
We grow certified organic vegetables and share practical recipes and storage tips so local food feels approachable, not overwhelming.
