What we do

Iron Water Farm is located in a small town in MS. We have traditional jobs currently in addition to farming but the goal is to phase out jobs as we increase revenue through farming. We practice no till farming. Like minded means tolerant. We are diverse in our values, religious beliefs and political views. We all enjoy the beauty of our differences. The one ideal we all share is our sense of community. We feel that hard work shared between a group creates great things in addition to providing for our basic needs. We are as varied in our diets as we are in our beliefs. Hopefully, potential members will have the same tolerant mindset as all of us. We don’t have to all agree or be carbon copies of each other to get along.
We value hard work and anyone wishing to join us will need to be willing to work as hard as we do. It actually only takes a couple focused hours each day to contribute enough to provide for yourself and others when everyone is giving of themselves equally. We not only welcome but will appreciate people who have unique skills and perspectives to offer.

Send us an email if you have any questions or think you might want to join us.
