This is our workhorse for beautiful, well-risen bread— stone-ground here on the farm from certified organic, non-GMO hard red wheat. With approximately 14% protein, this flour is milled and sifted finer than our whole wheat varieties, giving you a smooth, silky texture that’s still 100% whole grain. It’s perfect for artisan loaves, sourdough, sandwich bread, dinner rolls, pizza dough, and any recipe where you want great structure and taste.
This is real, old-fashioned corn meal—stone-ground from certified organic, non-GMO corn grown right here in the corn state, Iowa. We use the whole kernel so you get every bit of the sweet, rich, true flavor that only fresh Iowa organic corn can deliver. It’s perfect for classic cornbread, corn muffins, hush puppies, or pizza crust.
These are classic, hearty corn grits— stone-ground right here in the heart of corn country from certified organic, non-GMO corn.

This is the real thing—stone-ground right here on our farm from certified organic, non-GMO wheat grown in the Midwest.

Who We Are
Just outside the Des Moines metro, near Panora, Iowa, Early Morning Harvest is rooted in a way of farming that values patience, craftsmanship, and care for the land. Our family farm is built on the belief that good food begins long before it reaches the table—it starts with healthy soil, trusted traditions, and a deep respect for where our food comes from.
At the heart of our farm is the soil and land. We try to make the soil better through rotation, not using any synthetic chemicals, and by creating a balance in harmony with nature and our livestock. The land and soil are not for us—we borrow it from our kids and their futures. The healthier the soil is, the healthier the plants—and the livestock and humans that consume them or their products—will be.
We grow certified organic grains and stone-mill them on-site, just as generations before us did—slowly, carefully, and with intention. This time-honored process preserves the grain’s natural nutrients, flavor, and texture, resulting in flours, meals, and cereals that are as nourishing as they are honest.
Alongside our grains, we raise produce, honey, and eggs using thoughtful, sustainable practices. While fresh produce grows year-round through seasonal gardens and controlled growing systems, our focus remains on what we do best: cultivating and milling grains from field to flour, all in one place.
From the first seed planted to the final bag of flour, every step reflects our commitment to quality, sustainability, and transparency.
Early Morning Harvest exists to reconnect people with their food—to bring true farm-to-table grains to your kitchen, and to carry forward a legacy of farming done right.
Our Mission:
To provide fresh, healthy food for our community.
Testimonials

“Last year I entered the wide world of fresh ground flour and it was important to me to buy high-quality locally grown wheat. I started by making the 90 minute trip up to their farm for a few pounds of berries, and not too long after I was making another trip back up for a couple hundred pounds for myself and a family member. Adding their wheat to my breads and pastries has not only made them healthier and more nutritious, but the flavor is just unmatched compared to white flour bread products. The people at Early Morning Harvest have always been wonderful to work with. Kind and patient in answering all of my questions and always more than willing to work with me to arrange a pick up time since we live so far away. So glad we have a business and people like this right here in Iowa!”
