WE HAVE A WHOLE WEEK OF EXCITING EVENTS PLANNED!

From Wednesday, August 21 through Tuesday, August 27 we will be hosting some extra-special art events on the farm. Some events and lessons will happen at fixed times, but we will also have some ongoing projects and general farm work during the week.

Teachers: Sarah Fuller, Becky McIntyre, Amie Adams, Alice McGary

Saturday, August 17 from 2-4 PM at the Ames Public Library

Join Mustard Seed Community Farm at the Library to learn about flowers, pollinators, plants, seeds, and seed saving. Seed saving provides financial savings, helps preserve genetic diversity, builds community resilience, and so much more.

Learn practical skills to take home into your own garden. You can also donate saved seeds to the Ames Seed Library

FLOWER POTLUCK - Saturday, August 10 at 5:30 PM on the farm

Join us for this awesome, free event! All are welcome! We'll start with a dinner potluck (please bring a dish to share if you are able) followed by a flower arranging workshop led by Jen, aka @iowadahlialady! All flowers will be provided; bring your own vase or jar to hold your bouquet.

So Many Exciting Events!

We have a whole assortment of summer events planned, and they will be starting as early as next week. Here is a photo of our current events schedule, which we will keep adding to throughout the summer. Our Farm Calendar

Celebrate the opening of the Ames Seed Library on the Library's second floor near the Adult Services desk!
The Ames Seed Library is a community resource that offers free vegetable, flower, fruit, and herb seeds in order to empower people to grow their own food and build relationships through gardening.

Drop in to learn about the Ames Seed Library, browse the selection available, and take home seeds. If you have seeds at home that you're not using, please bring them along to donate to the Ames Seed Library!

Do you ever wonder what life is like on an organic vegetable farm? Do you yearn to make an impact on local food justice? Our farm would be an excellent place for you to contribute to food justice, land stewardship, and community building while learning valuable skills. Join us as an intern in 2024!

Dear Mustard Seed community,

It seems the weather for tomorrow night's equinox celebration is 80% chance of severe thunderstorms, which sounds unpleasant and unsafe enough for us to shift the event to another day. So, tomorrow's event is RESCHEDULED for:

Wednesday, September 27th from 6:30pm-8:30pm @ the Farm.

Same details as before -- pasted below for ease - except there will be NO camping option.

We're excited to offer a flower CSA this season! We love nourishing our community with healthy food, and offering flowers gives us another way to nurture and nourish: through beauty.

How does it work?

• Six bouquets are included: two in July, two in June, and two in August (approximately every other week)
• Cost is $150
• Specific dates TBD
• A central pick-up spot will be announced soon

Dear Mustard Seed friends,
