About Us:

Fertile hosts an amazing line-up of recreation opportunities for the visitor. Our golf course is outstanding and the gardens at Bergeson Nursery are breathtaking to behold in July. Hiking in the Sandhill recreation trail area is a relaxing way to spend the day as a family. The Agassiz Environmental Learning Center is known for winter recreation since they have fantastic cross country ski trails throughout the sandhills and the local snowmobile club is very proud of their beautiful well groomed trails. We have a variety of nice parks and are adjacent to several nationally known wildlife and birding areas. We also take pride in the recreational enjoyment of the Sand Hill River. Kayakers and paddlers from the surrounding communities come to Fertile to explore the inside edition of the Sand Hills from the perspective of the river. We can't forget the big event of each summer, the Polk County Fair!

This community gives amazing opportunities to all who reside here. Kids feel safe while riding their bikes around town and are able to be involved in various clubs and sports. When talking to the youth about their future, so many say that they are eager to leave this small town in the middle of nowhere and move on with their life, but many move back "home" and call this little town paradise, filled with friendly people.

Growing up in a small town has other benefits, like the life lessons you learn not only from your parents, but from others around you. You learn values like humility, love of neighbor, that hard work pays off, and always, no matter the consequences, do what you know is right. These morals are products of the generations of Americans that came before us. It is our responsibility to keep these concepts alive. In our small towns, these traits are not only ideas that we heard at one time or another -- they are truly a way of life.

More than just a beautiful place to live, Fertile is truly a place to call home. We have all the bells and whistles of neighboring cities, without the hustle and bustle.
