MIDDLEBROOK MERCANTILE

Nestled amidst the quaint town of Cumming, south of the Des Moines metro and surrounded by Iowa’s cornfields, stands the Middlebrook Mercantile. The Mercantile, owned by Steve and Nikki Bruere, is part of the Middlebrook Agrihood, a development that honors the agricultural legacy of Iowa by integrating farming into the daily life of residents and visitors.

Patrons of the Mercantile enjoy carefully curated wines featuring Capital Call Vintners’ collection from sparkling white wines to robust red wines, craft cocktails, local beers, coffee, and various fine goods. Capital Call Vintners’ Wine Club members enjoy exclusive access to events and discounts at the Merc.

MIDDLEBROOK MERCANTILE

Cumming, Iowa

Built in 1900, this historic one-room schoolhouse once provided kindergarten through high school education. Restored and preserved to maintain its original character in 2022, The Merc now serves as a centerpiece for the Middlebrook Agrihood, just as it once served as a centerpiece for the rural town of Cumming.

The Middlebrook Agrihood is a housing and community development that preserves agricultural land where people live. The planned community offers a town center, walkability to amenities, trails, and a community garden with a farm stand while emphasizing health, food, educational opportunities, and access to nature. In addition to serving Capital Call Vintners wines, The Merc offers a full espresso bar, craft cocktails, beers, and charcuterie.

Located rurally, but only minutes away from downtown Des Moines.
