Decorah

Head north from Decorah and you experience the best of the Driftless region topography, from narrow, scenic ridges to tight, wooded valleys.

We’ve been growing vegetables since 1997, and we’re amazed at our good fortune to be able to work in this place.

The Briar Patch Farm grows organic fruits and vegetables on River Road outside Decorah, sold through a weekly harvest membership rather than a farm stand.

Wold Strawberries runs a u-pick berry patch in Mabel, in the bluff country of far southeastern Minnesota.

The socks are the signature product, sold through the farm's online store. A veteran-owned operation in Minnesota's southeastern bluff country.

Cresco Farmers Market sets up on 2nd Street Southwest, in Grube's north lot, in the Howard County seat in far northeast Iowa. The county sits in the state's driftless region, hill country the last glaciation never flattened, and the market draws from the smaller, hillier farms that terrain produces.

Allamakee Farmers Market runs on the Allamakee County Fairgrounds on Allamakee Street in Waukon, the county seat set in Iowa's driftless region — the unglaciated, bluff-and-valley corner of the state along the Mississippi River in the far northeast. The terrain runs cooler in the shaded valleys and warmer on the ridges, which stretches the local growing season longer than a flat map would suggest.

Waukon

This pick-your-own pumpkin patch sits on Highway 44 in the Houston County bluff country near Caledonia, in Minnesota's far southeastern corner. Pick pumpkins straight from the field or grab one already loaded on the wagon, and kids run a bale maze while you shop. It shows up on Facebook as the Great Big Pumpkin Patch.

The market supports sustainable and family-farm agriculture, and by spring 2026 its regular vendor stalls were already full for the season.

Fredericksburg

East View Orchard grows 1,500 apple trees across 35 acres outside Fredericksburg, and visitors do their own picking rather than buying pre-bagged fruit. Beyond apples, the farm raises sweet corn, pumpkins, squash, gourds, green beans, cucumbers, and tomatoes as the season allows, plus a side business in antiques and collectibles at the farm stand. It's a working orchard first — the selection changes with what's actually ripe that week.
