This weekend we welcomed Chef Pete Kerns, of Abbie Hill Produce, to our farm. Guests traveled from places as far away as Rockford, IL. to gather around the table with friends, family and others who shared an adventurous spirit.

It all came together in our historic barn. Folks laughed, lingered, cozied up with afghan blankets and apple cider. We enjoyed an Italian-inspired melody of flavors, harkening the transition of summer into fall. Food grown right here in Iowa by Iowans, including a few folks in the room. 

These Harvest Tables are truly a labor of love for those of us behind-the-scene. We especially feel gratitude to Pete and his family for taking the time out of their busy schedules to cook for us.

One guest said there are “good people” here and, truly, it felt like serving family. We are humbled by each and every one of you who showed up! Thank you! 

That is a wrap on our public events for 2026. We hope to see you next season. ♥️ #tailwindacres #iowafarmto table #iowaagtourism taken in Tailwind Acres by @tailwindacres

And just when we think a night can’t get any better, it does. 

A humble thank you to Chef Jes (@taste.osage), again. You floored us with craft, ingenuity and some mad organization skills as you layered each course so intricately for last night’s Harvest Table. We could’ve watched you plate for hours and been mesmerized enough for the night.

And to the 30 guests who dined at Tailwind, you filled our cups! A toast to all of you, without you showing up there wouldn’t have been anyone to cook for!
 
The execution of last night’s meal was swept up in many a daydream about appearance, colors, aromas and energy. And it was exactly how I (Flannery) imagined it to be. That leaves me incredibly thankful to those mentioned above and to @adam.bohach , who is patient and bold enough to vision alongside me. #tailwindacres #iowafarmtotable #agtourism taken in Tailwind Acres by @tailwindacres

New and NICE view that @adam.bohach snapped today. ❤️ 

There are limited opportunities to get your flower fill at Tailwind Acres.

This is the NEXT to last pickin’ day… August 29 closes out our 2026 u-pick before transitioning to our farm to table meals! #tailwindacres #iowaupickflowers #agtourism taken in Tailwind Acres by @tailwindacres

Yoga requires flexibility? 
Hmmm, that might not be a requirement. But, maybe the better phrase is life requires flexibility. 

If you’re sitting and watching the weather wondering how your weekend plans will shake up, we see you.

Speaking of plans Yoga instructor, Heidi Rockweiler from The Well, is on for Poses and Posies- yoga in the barn on Saturday 8:30-9:30am. And we know how to pivot if it’s rainy! Yoga followed by pre-made bouquets and baked goods in the barn. I’m fairly certain rain on the tin roof could probably be on a Spotify song list under “calm.”

We do need to know numbers ahead of time for this yoga class. Visit www.tailwindacres.com/tailwindevents. Closing registration at Noon this Friday, August 14. So last call, y’all! 

If you’re coming out just for the u-pick, no need to register or RSVP!

Hello, little blue truck! 

Did we buy a farm truck? Not exactly… 

For nearly 8 years, I’ve admired this adorable 1975 Dodge on my neighborhood walks. I always thought it was just so cute! I finally worked up the courage to write a letter to its owner, asking if I could borrow it to fill with flowers and use as a backdrop for some photos.

And here she is! 💙

Our generous neighbor, Cory, is sharing a little piece of family history with us. This was the first car he ever drove, passed down to him from his Grandpappy. And he even delivered it to the farm for us!

So, in celebration of our little blue truck, we’re having a giveaway for tomorrow (Aug. 8) ONLY! 

📸 To enter:
1. Post a photo on Facebook or Instagram of you holding your bouquet next to the little blue truck.
2. Tag @Tailwind Acres in your post.
3. Make sure your post is public so we can see your entry!

One entry per person.  All entries must be submitted on August 8. 

We’ll randomly select one lucky winner - they will receive a gift basket with Tailwind Acres farm goodies! 🎉

Remember we’re open for u-pick flowers August 8, 8-11am. We can’t wait to see you and your flowers with our new-to-us, on-loan farm truck! #tailwindacres #upickflowers #agtourism #iowaflowerfarm taken in Tailwind Acres by @tailwindacres

We didn’t let the rain get us down! In fact, we had one group of three brave the elements and pick gorgeous flowers despite the weather. 

Don’t worry if you opted to stay in last night and drink a cup of hot cocoa… there will be chances for you to take home some beauties!

Upcoming opportunities to pick your own 💐, 8-11am all days:

August 8
August 15 
August 22
August 29 

We have @sarahagemanphotography working her magic next weekend taking 📸minis and the August 15th and 22nd also are featured Poses and Poises (aka yoga in the barn).
