Yesterday, we emailed all Iowa subscribers and wanted to share here as well.

We are grateful to have served you with our home delivery greens since 2020. Your feedback and support have helped us to shape what we grow and offer—including our menu at Clayton Farms Salads.

As we me move all our focus to Clayton Farms Salads, we are pausing home delivery via our subscription service for Iowa subscribers.

For Iowa subscribers, final deliveries will take place on Friday December 29.

You won’t need to do anything with your subscription account, and there will be no charges past December 31.

We know many of you are already patrons of our Clayton Farms Salads restaurant in Ames, but below are ways to still enjoy our greens after December 29.

If you are not in the Ames area, we’re still actively searching for our next Clayton Farms Salads locations across Iowa and Minnesota. Once we find the perfect next location, we’ll move quickly to get to growing and open for you.

1. Starting in January, we will have both raw leafy greens and microgreens farmed and available for purchase at Clayton Farms Salads in Ames, located at 2435 Grand Ave (right next to North Grand Mall).

2. If you are in the Ames area and would like to place an order for delivery of raw greens or anything else from our menu, we offer delivery through DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub.

Happy Sunday everyone! Swinging through after a run with a quick story.

Early on while figuring out what foods to grow, we worked with chefs and produce managers. While they shared their wisdom with us, I grew a new appreciation for leafy greens and how microgreens are a superfood.

That sparked a personal interest in running and nutrition. I started with 5Ks and moved up to marathons, but then I discovered ultramarathon trail races.

As I finished a training run today, I realized I just hit 7,500 lifetime miles ran, and my 20th ultramarathon is just under 4 weeks away.

It’s a wonderful feeling when we can find a love for a sport, and pair it with the right nutrition so we can enjoy it for a lifetime.

PS I’m about to enjoy a salad with our butter lettuce and peppery micro radish 😋

As classes begin on college campuses this week, I wanted to share a quick story.

This picture is of a growing prototype that Danen and I had up and running in a kitchenette on a campus.

Many students came in to see it—and to smell the sweet and cinnamon basil we had growing. Most of them had little to no experience in farming of any kind.

It was up to us to share our excitement for why urban farming matters and our mission.

6 years later, we still host tours at our farms. I still have the same excitement for someone walking in to experience urban farming for the first time.

Whatever excitement you have for the future, now is one of the best times to share it with the world, on and off campus.

You never know who is looking for inspiration.
