Iowa County sits in the heart of the Driftless Area with rolling hills, deep valleys, and highly erodible soils. The Wisconsin River flows along the northern boundary creating fertile bottomland.

Sustainable and organic farming practices are well-suited to the diverse topography and microclimates. Dairy and beef operations utilize both valley floors and hillside pastures.
