Friendly Farm is a hidden paradise in Iowa City known for a variety of divine veggies and colorful flower bouquets.
Farmers David Braverman and his partner, Maggie Yocius, along with David's mom, Kathy Braverman, and a group of volunteers practice natural, chemical-free growing methods on an idyllic spread of produce, herbs, and flowers started by the late Bob Braverman over two decades ago.
They work together to build kinship and a healthy environment through local, sustainable agriculture, and community education.
With the entire property protected by 8 foot fencing to keep out the notorious Iowa City deer herds, David has managed to create an oasis nestled hidden between neighborhoods right in the city limits. With a combination of open fields and hoophouses, Friendly Farm produces a variety of produce to be enjoyed locally by our customers, local schools and food access non-profits.
