“We are continuing to look forward to serving our Cedar Valley community together as the Lord leads. We have a desire to grow our small business in the next few years. Things we get excited about: planting vegetables and herbs in the spring, growing and pruning fruit trees around the acreage, cutting timber, delivering firewood, and coming up with fun new skincare products and infusing them in comfrey oil.
Currently our two boys are under the age of two but they are still outdoors as much as possible even helping Blake in the garden.”
Deep root acres was established in 2017 by a young and avid entrepreneur named Blake Carlson. At the age of 19 he left his basketball career behind and returned to his home town in Cedar Falls, IA to pursue agriculture. Located a corn cobs toss away from the Cedar Falls border, this small scale farm is a tightknit, home-grown acreage. We focus on high quality and mineral/nutrient rich produce, without the use of those harmful chemicals you’ve been hearing about; acidic and sodium-based chemicals, and synthetic pesticides, or as I like to call them “syntheticides.” All our field sprays are safe and healthful in the promotion of bio-soil life and in balancing the soil activity. Blake’s motto is “quality over quantity.
Deep Root Acres is a Christian based farm working to provide nutrient dense fruits and vegetables to the community of Cedar Falls.
Our farming practices include a no-till system utilizing foliar applications for nutrient and mineral level increase, as well as a woodchip mulch cover for water retention and weed reduction. Blake and his twin brother are partners of Renewable Farming, a business owned by their Father and Grandfather. We are a family of Christian entrepreneurs dedicated to upholding the values set by Jesus, our God and our Bible. We know our time here on this soil is short, but as long as we are here, we will be a light to society and an encouragement to the hard working citizens of these United States.
