Early Morning Harvest

Who We Are

Just outside the Des Moines metro, near Panora, Iowa, Early Morning Harvest is rooted in a way of farming that values patience, craftsmanship, and care for the land. Our family farm is built on the belief that good food begins long before it reaches the table—it starts with healthy soil, trusted traditions, and a deep respect for where our food comes from.

At the heart of our farm is the soil and land. We try to make the soil better through rotation, not using any synthetic chemicals, and by creating a balance in harmony with nature and our livestock. The land and soil are not for us—we borrow it from our kids and their futures.  The healthier the soil is, the healthier the plants—and the livestock and humans that consume them or their products—will be.

We grow certified organic grains and stone-mill them on-site, just as generations before us did—slowly, carefully, and with intention. This time-honored process preserves the grain’s natural nutrients, flavor, and texture, resulting in flours, meals, and cereals that are as nourishing as they are honest.

Alongside our grains, we raise produce, honey, and eggs using thoughtful, sustainable practices. While fresh produce grows year-round through seasonal gardens and controlled growing systems, our focus remains on what we do best: cultivating and milling grains from field to flour, all in one place.

Stewardship guides everything we do. We never use synthetic chemicals, choosing instead to farm in harmony with nature and protect the land for future generations. From the first seed planted to the final bag of flour, every step reflects our commitment to quality and transparency.

Early Morning Harvest exists to reconnect people with their food—to bring truly farm-to-table grains to your kitchen, and to carry forward a legacy of farming done right.

Our Mission:

To provide fresh, healthy food for our community.
