Want to work with us this summer? We are in the final countdown to our annual internship application deadline, and we are still seeking enthusiastic, curious interns to join our team this summer and taking applications for our farm apprentice position.

About Us

Here are a few fun ways that you can support the farm and our work this winter.

09

Join our community of ecologically-minded people to help grow organic produce for CSA (community supported agriculture), workshares, and donations! Interns learn skills like: crop care and management, farm planning, volunteer leadership, permaculture design, and prairie/chicken/sheep/beehive care. Agricultural experience/education preferred but not required.

DUE TO RAIN FORECAST TOMORROW - WE ARE HAVING THIS PARTY TODAY!!!! FRIDAY SEPT 20.

hello all!!!

You're invited to join us for a FALL EQUINOX CELBRATION on Saturday, September 21 from 7-9 PM on the farm.

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.

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.

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!
