About Catering by Doolittle Farm:

The Doolittle Farm is a 61 acre Iowa century farm located in Story City, Iowa. The farm was established in 1905 by Chef Aaron’s great-grandparents on his mothers side, William and May Doolittle.

Aaron’s goal is to turn his families farm back into what it was over 100 years ago. The type of farm our great grandparents would recognize. Practicing “Regenerative Agriculture” and working to provide a sustainable food future. Catering by Doolittle Farm takes the best of what Iowa has to offer and provides memorable and delicious dining experiences.
