Reminders
When you open your cart, select your pick-up site (Merle Hay Mall, the Village of Ponderosa in WDM, First Family Church in Ankeny, or Prairie Rivers RC&D in Ames).
Note: Rather than offering an alternative pick-up time of 4-5 pm on the Saturday after distribution, we are now keeping business hours at our space at Merle Hay Mall. This means people with a conflict with the regular time should send an email to orders@iowafood.coop to arrange an alternative pick-up time.
The easiest ways to find specific types of products the “Products Sorted by Category” button.
Send an email to info@iowafood.coop if you have any questions or comments.

We are back in business!
The shopping cart is now open!
Shop until midnight on Sat., Feb. 25th, with delivery on Thursday, March 1st.
See below for updates from producers.
We’ve completed the move to our new space, which is just inside the south entrance to Merle Hay Mall near Younkers (there’s a big Kohls sign above the door). Note: we are going to a three-week delivery cycle until the growing season, and then delivery will be every other week until Thanksgiving. We’ll place a calendar with our new schedule on the website.
Several producers are taking a break: Krieger Greenhouses, Heavy Horses Farm, Live Now Rest Later, Twin Girls Gardens, Grinnell Heritage Farm, Hibbs Farms, Del Gloria Elk Products, and LaVentosa Ranch. Also, Jasper Winery decided to stop offering their products (you can still buy Iowa wine through the IFC from Rosey Acres). Katie with Jasper sent this note: “Thanks so much for the opportunity and good luck with the success of the coop!”. |
