If you are looking for a welcoming, all-levels yoga summer series, look no more! Join Darcey Noyce, RYT-500, this summer at Middlebrook Farm for some movement, breathing and community.

Bring your yoga mat/towel and a water bottle for this gentle, all-levels yoga practice. Class will be 45 minutes on Saturday mornings and 60 minutes on Monday evenings. Class will take place on the open grassy area just east of the farmhouse.

Up-to-date weather announcements will be sent via email at least an hour before start time, which is why it is important to pre-register! There is no backup plan for inclement weather so class will be cancelled, and your ticket purchase will be fully refunded.

Cancellation policy: all sales are final. In the event of an emergency, please reach out to Darcey at darceyoga8@gmail.com.

Mondays from 5:30-6:30pm: June 8, July 6, August 3, August 31 and September 28

Introducing our first pop-up event with Middlebrook Farm in Cumming, IA.

Empeiria (em-pir-ee-uh) is a mobile, wood-fired sauna and cold plunge experience designed to be equal parts restorative and social.
Book a 60-minute contrast therapy session and cycle between a traditional wood-fired sauna (up to 200 degrees F), cold plunge (as low as 40 degrees F), and intentional rest.
Wellness should feel alive and should encompass the whole person and their community.

Reservations are now available for opening day at: https://empeiriasauna.com

Guests are encouraged to arrive 10 minutes early with their swimwear, towel and sandals. On-site amenities also include changing tents, lockers, a pull cord shower, and places to reset between rounds. Hosts will be available to guide guests through the process and ensure their experience is memorable

Let your creativity bloom with this beginner floral design workshop! Learn to create a simple floral arrangement in hand, cut directly from the flower field at Middlebrook Farm.

Sarah will walk you through how to choose and design cut flowers "in hand", a technique you are sure to reach for again and again. Learn to balance different flower shapes, textures and color while building your own bouquet. Best practices for harvest and stem care will also be discussed.

Each month will bring a unique in season experience and flowers will vary.
