Fall
This season at the farm has us embracing all kinds of magic. When we look around, we can see it, feel it + smell it. It's the leaves slowly turning from green to delicate shades of yellow, orange + red. It's the apples falling from the trees, and then finding their way into a warm pie from Grandma Grace's recipe book. It's the feel of soft-knit sweaters keeping us warm when the morning air is crisp. It's the sound of the leaves crunching under our boots. It's the smell of firewood burning as whispering hisses escape from the fire. It's the sight of children excitedly picking out their favorite pumpkin nestled against the sweet greenhouse. It's all kinds of cozy + beautiful. Welcome to Fall on the Farm.
The fall season runs September 9th-October 23rd. Wednesday | 1-5 PM

Our hope is that you will join us to take in all the magic the farm has to offer this season. The greenhouse, featured in Midwest Living + on the cover of Better Homes & Gardens Farmhouse Christmas, has been transformed into a winter wonderland, and it will be the site of many sweet family photos. We invite you to be our guest in one of our seasonal workshoppes. Visit The Shoppe to find a festive selection of holiday goods, including live greenery. You'll find evergreen bouquets, pine cones, mixed greenery, noble firs, juniper wreaths + noble firs with cones (set to arrive 11/15). Holiday candles will delight the senses, and specialty soaps will fill you + your stocking with holiday cheer. Darling mugs + an exclusive coffee blend will warm you all season long. Grab a one-of-a-kind holiday gift. It's the coziest of seasons, and a warm mug of cocoa or cup of coffee awaits you in The Shoppe.

Photography Details
When you arrive, you will find designated parking for you + your guests. The Shoppe has a restroom/changing room that you may use.

We do not book more than one photographer at a time. We know having an extra set of hands is always nice. If your assistant is simply helping you with props, lighting or styling your clients, there is no additional photography charge. However, if your assistant is using a camera and/or taking photos alongside you, we kindly request they pay our photography rate, too.
We think furry friends make life sweeter, and they are always welcome. Our one request is that they are on a leash. Our chickens get very excited when meeting new friends, and we would hate for all of our animal friends to be too busy socializing to be photographed.

We would LOVE for you to take full advantage of all our farm has to offer. Seasonally, you will find the greenhouse staged, and we kindly ask that all decor + props belonging to Rose Farm be regarded with care.

We get VERY excited to see your work social media! The Des Moines area has the most outstanding photography talent. Our most popular hashtag is #rosefarmstead. You will also see us sharing your photos in our social media stories + post.
