Join the Office of Sustainability and the Environment for a guided tour of Kroul Farms, a 1,250-acre family-owned farm located just 25 minutes from campus in Mount Vernon, Iowa. Owned in part by former Iowa Hawkeye and NFL football player Matt Kroul, the farm has been in the Kroul family for over 75 years.

Discover how the farm integrates row crops like corn, soybeans, and alfalfa with timber harvesting, pasture-raised beef cattle, and a thriving Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program. You’ll also get a behind-the-scenes look at their seasonal produce operation, including 45 acres of pumpkins, 15 acres of sweet corn, and a variety of garden vegetables.

After the tour, stop by their farm store to browse local goods.

Space is limited. UI students only. Registration is required. Transportation is not provided.
