At Wallace Farm, growing food is one way we put our land and agricultural resources to work for the common good. Through Farm to Pantry, Wallace Centers of Iowa grows fresh produce for donation to food pantries and food-insecure communities, with a particular focus on rural Iowa.

The connection is simple and direct: food grown at Wallace Farm moves from our fields and orchard to organizations that can put it into the hands of neighbors who need it.

Growing Together

Farm to Pantry is about more than growing food. It creates opportunities for people to come together around agriculture, service, and community.

Volunteers help plant, tend, harvest, and prepare produce for distribution. Individuals, community organizations, and corporate teams can take part in hands-on opportunities at Wallace Farm while contributing directly to our food security work.

Community Produce Stand

Stop by the Wallace Farm Community Produce Stand and take home fresh, seasonal produce grown at the farm. Produce is free and available to everyone. No registration or qualifications are needed, simply take what you can use.

Offerings change throughout the growing season based on what’s ready to harvest. We’ll post often on social media to share what’s available for the week.

Donations are welcome to help support our work, but are never required.
