We are Prairie Mechanics Homestead and Farm, owned and operated by Alex and Olivia Baum. We believe in sustainably growing food and raising animals in a way that restores the amazing mechanics of the prairie – so it can work in the natural cycle that God designed. We are just beginning our journey here in the driftless lands of Iowa, and we look forward to seeing you around the farm!
As we establish our homestead and farm, we hope to provide high quality, sustainably grown meat and produce to our local community and beyond. We aim to continue hosting family-friendly events that celebrate this beautiful land we get to cultivate and share.
