Farm Entrepreneur Sharon Krause: Focused on Opportunities for Others

Farm entrepreneur Sharon Krause is reshaping local agriculture through In Harmony Farm, her 223-acre agricultural farm and training ground near Earlham, Iowa. She donated 70 acres of her own land to support beginning farmers and convened roughly 60 stakeholders across central Iowa to identify gaps between agriculture, healthy eating, and opportunities for underserved communities. Her work highlights a model of farming focused less on scale and more on intention, stewardship, and community impact.
