Sweet Tooth Farm, 1809 8th Street, Des Moines, IA (2026)

04/08/2024

We started this farm to help fill a gap. To get more fresh food to our community. We’re still doing that ! (don’t forget to sign up for community harvest days this summer!)

Amid losing land - urban prices and zoning/municipal headaches - we are trying something new this year.

We’re making compost. And offering a new service to fill the gap in Des Moines. There currently is not comprehensive or existing infrastructure in our city for food waste/kitchen scrap collection for compost. What is made available for residents is made from yard waste. We wanted another choice. So we’re building it.

Sign up to compost with us! Pick the price and frequency that works for you. We provide the bin, and we pull up to get your scraps! Get first access to the compost we produce as a subscriber.

And! If you sign up to any tier before Earth Day Jamie at .dsm will give you 10% off your purchase when you show her your receipt during Earth Week!

Are you a restaurant/food service provider ?? Hit me up let’s chat!

LGBTQ Iowans have the power, the knowledge, and the joy to create a future we can all thrive in.

Proud to be led by and cause a ruckus for my trans community.

I love you so dearly, we won’t let them erase you.

To all my white and cis followers - now is the time to put your body and your voice on the line. Cancel your plans and get to events to show your support. It matters.

🚨 call to action 🚨

My kids started school in 2020, the same year that started the community school coordinator program. So I don’t know DMPS without them.

I am furious that and have financially mismanaged this program so badly. The community school coordinators are doing the most important work outside of academics at DMPS. The numbers don’t lie!

I have seen CSCs be the reason a child has clean clothes, be the reason they have access to food at home, have opportunities to attend extracurriculars and community programs - they have breathed life into our schools.

Moulton has the highest participation of extracurriculars in the entire district, and that achievement sits solely on the shoulders of our CSC Leah.

how dare you ask our CSCs to increase their workload, for a $15,000 pay cut. This is shameful. You are directly harming the students and families who need CSCs the most.

🚨We need to flood the inboxes of the DMPS school board, Dr. Ian Roberts, Shelly Bosovich, Jake Troja, and Demarco Lowery. 🚨 All of their contact information is available on the last slide! I know I will be emailing a few times a day starting now!

We can’t let this happen. We won’t let this happen.
Please share with your networks and spread the word!!

It’s my birthday tomorrow! (tell your fav Capricorn you love them!)

And all I want is seeeeeeeds!!

We no longer sell to the public or do a CSA. All the produce we grow goes to our neighbors and to community fridges around the metro. That means that all our costs in the spring add up. We do not have any funding or grants. And believe it or not the spring will be here before you know it.

It would mean so much to get some support to start up the farm this year! If you can help us Venmo a few bucks 🫶🏼

that food rescue flow 💐

finally getting the tunnel winterized

really have had no motivation as we aren’t selling this fall — and things have just been hard lately

really happy to have found a LFPA distributor and we are all good to grow for hungry folks 2024

we are hopeful that the program will be renewed - but who knows

very grateful for this small window that we can grow food for hungry folks and not only those lovely people who can afford it

🇵🇸🇸🇩🇨🇩🇨🇬

the cold keeps coming

it always does

I keep trying to remember the hot sun on my skin, the laughter of my children;

for me it will come again

I’m consumed with thoughts about those who will never again feel it on this earth

the mothers who only have their children’s blood and screams of agony to remember

looking at seed catalogs, thinking of spring - thinking of warm sun - of olive trees and laughter in Palestine. I believe in that future.

forever finding chunks of concrete and rebar when I’m growing in the city

got the garlic in

got the lots cleaned up

hibernation and organizing with my friends - dreaming up a better world and using my hands and voice to build it are the only things on my agenda until spring 💔
