Marji Alaniz, FarmHer founder, and Jenny Quiner, owner of Dogpatch Urban Gardens (DUG), talk about the pivots DUG made prior to the pandemic that helped make it smoother when they had to make quick transitions.

Located in Des Moines, Iowa, DUG is a small-scale market garden growing produce naturally with organic principles and sustainable methods.

FarmHer is an organization that celebrates women who are a part of agriculture through their stories. Together, Nationwide and FarmHer have shared a long running relationship with a mutual appreciation for supporting these women. Through the Everybody Eats partnership, we encourage you to explore the educational, empowering and inspirational women and to share their stories with your community.
