Welcome to GrimesFarm!

A living resource for the people of Central Iowa

Welcome to the website for the Friends of Grimes Farm, a group of people associated with the Grimes Farm Nature Center near Marshalltown Iowa, but who are interested in studying and promoting both conservation and sustainable agriculture in Iowa.

This year we will be sponsoring the 10th annual Grimes Farm Run on July 10. You'll find a good deal more information about this popular annual event by clicking the "GF Run" link in the navigation box above.

Many thanks for visiting the website, and we hope to see you on our non-virtual site sometime soon. As the picture below shows, the Farm has some new surprises!
