🌱 Seed starting season is officially underway at Feed Iowa First!

From fenugreek and lettuce to jalapeños and Brussels sprouts, these tiny seedlings are the beginning of fresh, nutrient-dense food that will nourish our community in the months ahead. 💚

Every tray planted is a step toward stronger local food systems, healthier communities, and greater food access. Stay tuned as these starts grow from seed → harvest! 🌿

Here’s how Produce Rescue works at Feed Iowa First:

🤝 We connect with local gardeners and farmers
🥕 Surplus produce is gleaned before it goes to waste
📦 Fresh produce is sorted, weighed, and prepared
💚 Nutrient-dense food is distributed throughout the community
Good food should feed people — not landfills.

Every pound rescued helps reduce food waste while increasing access to fresh, local produce across Iowa.
