The Way Food Should Be

We're not a store. We're a direct connection between Iowa families and the farmers who raise their food.

Know Your Source

Every farmer shares their story, practices, and philosophy. See exactly where your food comes from.

Fresh & Local

No warehouses, no weeks in transit. Buy when it's ready, pick up when it's fresh.

Support Families

Your money goes directly to local farm families. Keep Iowa agriculture thriving.

Inspected Facilities

All products processed at USDA or state-inspected facilities. Quality and safety guaranteed.

"When I started farming 30 years ago, selling directly to families was the norm. MeatIOWA helps us get back to that — customers who know where their food comes from, and farmers who know their customers by name."

A Penny A Pound for the Prairie

We believe that the best way to protect Iowa's future is to support the people who work the land.

For every pound of meat purchased through our platform, we donate one penny directly to Iowa Land Stewardship initiatives. It's our way of ensuring that the soil that feeds us today remains healthy for generations to come.

  • Water quality protection programs
  • Soil health & cover crop initiatives
  • Sustainable farming education
