Producer

Started in 1991, Persephone Farm unfolds across a sunny 6.5 acre slope in Indianola.
We are passionate about the exceptional freshness and quality of the produce and flowers we offer as well as about our connections with the community. As a mature flower farm, we offer a wide array of perennials, bulbs and woody material in addition to many joyful annual flower varieties.
DIY wedding and event flowers are a specialty of ours.
Owner, Rebecca Slattery, has trained dozens of future farmers through a well-respected, often life changing 8 month internship program

All our practices are compliant with the National Organic standards, though we are not certified organic. We like the word "morganic" to sum up our principles of deep ecology and environmental stewardship. Priorities for Persephone include minimizing landfill-bound waste through closed loop systems, making our own compost, and providing food and habitat for bees and other pollinators by integrating flowers throughout our fields.
We employ low-til practices to sequester soil carbon and enhance soil health. We farm because we love it and hope you'll feel this in our food and flowers.
