Wilson's Orchard & Farm
With a 40-year history of production in Iowa City, Middlebrook proudly welcomes Wilson’s Orchard as a cornerstone of the Agrihood community. Their integrated facility showcases a cider bar, restaurant, bakery, and a farm market, complete with extensive indoor and outdoor seating areas as well as a private event space. Wilson’s Orchard & Farm is a year-round destination and opened its doors after years of planning and planting in the spring of 2024.
The polyculture farm encompasses around 70+ acres utilized for fruit trees, berries, pumpkins, flowers, and vegetables, adding to the vibrant landscape of Middlebrook. Additionally, nearly 50+ acres are dedicated to rotational grazing of livestock such as sheep, pigs, and chickens on the Middlebrook Meadow nature preserve.
Middlebrook Meadow
Middlebrook Meadow is a 50+ acre nature preserve, featuring 1.5 miles of walking trails, native grasses and flowers, a pond teeming with wildlife, and friendly grazing farm animals. This scenic meadow serves as a connecting point between Middlebrook, the Great Western Bike Trail, and Wilson’s Orchard and Farm, creating a harmonious blend of nature and community.
To ensure its preservation and everyone’s enjoyment of Middlebrook Meadow, please adhere to the following guidelines: Keep pets on a leash, stay on the trail, leave no trace, no hunting, no camping, no drinking, and no motorized vehicles. Those on the trail after dark or on private property will be prosecuted.
