Must Do’s
Nestled just minutes south of the Des Moines Metro, Cumming blends small-town charm with a vibrant local business scene. Spend the day shopping and strolling in Middlebrook Town Center, sampling spirits at Iowa Distilling Company, or enjoying a glass of wine at Middlebrook Mercantile. There are plenty of ways to experiencing hands on fun at Middlebrook Farm, Wilson’s Orchard and Farm, or Howell’s Greenhouse & Pumpkin Patch.
Outdoor Recreation
Cumming is a gateway to outdoor adventure. The Great Western Bike Trail runs right through town, offering miles of paved paths for biking, walking, and running through scenic countryside. With two access points off the trail, Middlebrook Meadow is a serene nature preserve featuring 1.5 miles of walking trails, native grasses and flowers, a pond teeming with wildlife, and friendly grazing farm animals. Families will also enjoy Cumming City Park and Mayor Tom Becker Park, an agriculture-inspired playground complete with climbing structures, play tractors, a scavenger hunt, and more.
Exciting Eateries
From farm-fresh flavors to relaxed local favorites, Cumming punches above its weight when it comes to food and drink. Wilson’s Ciderhouse offers farm-to-table fare and doubles as a stunning venue for weddings and large celebrations. Craft cocktails await at Iowa Distilling Company and Middlebrook Mercantile. And no bike ride to Cumming is complete without a stop at the town’s quintessential dive bar, The Cumming Tap. Cash only!
Community Highlights
Every Friday throughout the summer, the town comes alive with Fridays at the Farm, a lively outdoor music series featuring food trucks, a beer tent, and a farmers’ market. Ted Lare Design Build & Garden Center, Middlebrook Farm, Wilson’s Orchard & Farm, and Iowa Distilling all offer fun events and workshops throughout the year, and every August the town comes together for the Cumming Street Party.
