A Community Rooted in Agriculture and Connection

Tucked away in Cumming, Iowa, Middlebrook Farm is not just a neighborhood—it’s a lifestyle. As Iowa’s first agrihood, Middlebrook blends sustainable agriculture with modern living, creating a community centered around fresh food, local businesses, and shared experiences. Whether you’re stopping by the Middlebrook Mercantile, stocking up at the farm stand, or enjoying the beloved Fridays at the Farm, there’s something special waiting for you.

The Middlebrook Farm Stand: Fresh, Local, and Seasonal

Nothing beats the taste of fresh, locally grown produce, and the Middlebrook Farm Stand delivers just that. From farm-fresh tomatoes and melons to crisp sweet corn and pumpkins, the stand is open Monday through Saturday for self-service shopping. Visitors can pay via Venmo or cash, making it an easy and convenient stop.

The Middlebrook Mercantile: Coffee, Cocktails, and Community

Housed in a restored 1900s one-room schoolhouse, the Middlebrook Mercantile is a true gathering place. Whether you’re grabbing a locally roasted espresso, sipping on a craft cocktail, or shopping for artisan home goods, The Merc is the perfect mix of history and modern charm.

Fridays at the Farm: A Local Favorite

One of the best ways to experience Middlebrook Farm is by attending Fridays at the Farm. Running from mid-May to mid-September, this community event features live music, food trucks, fresh produce, and local vendors. Bring a picnic blanket, grab a drink, and enjoy an evening under the Iowa sky.
