Adopting North Iowa Fresh

With the North Iowa Fresh organization winding down at the end of 2021 after several great years of service to connect local growers with eaters in north central Iowa, Prudent Produce is stepping in to help keep those connections going. 

Starting in March 2022, Prudent Produce began deliveries to many of the places previously served by North Iowa Fresh (NIF). Note that we continue to utilize pick up locations as NIF did -- we will NOT be able to deliver to individual homes on this route at this time. We will deliver to various sites ('coops'), and you will pick up your bin from that site. 

If you would like to try out our service: On the 2nd step of the signup page, under "Your Delivery Address", click on the "looking for a coop" and then you'll be able to select a coop. This is the location for where you will pick up your bins each week. See our list of coops below to choose the best one for you.
