It's no secret that Greene County, with its tight-knit rural charm, doesn't boast the extensive restaurant selection of areas like Ames or the Des Moines metro. But don't let that fool you! We’ve got some pretty great food options that also happen to be owned by our friends and neighbors. From beloved local establishments to familiar national chains, this month's blog post will be your guide to navigating Greene County's delicious offerings.

Shopping at small local businesses not only supports the community but also brings joy to the business owners!
