Sweetgrass Soaps began as a farm, a dream between my husband and I, to live self sufficiently on our own chunk of chemical free earth. We have now grown and harvested countless herbs, wild and hand sown, our own beeswax and honey, fruits and the fats of the land to provide real, sustainable, chemical free ingredients for all my bath and body products. My ancestors are among the Hidatsa, Mandan, and Standing Rock Sioux. I present my products with great pride and do all I can to honor the great people of the plains that made use of the natural bounty of our prairies. Our retail shop in downtown Sioux Falls, Sweetgrass Soapery & All Walks Trading Co., is open 10 a.m.-6 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday.

During the summer and autumn months, gardening is a primary focus for Swift Family Enterprises near Burke. Continuing the annual tradition of growing pumpkins, the oldest children planted their first batches of seed with Grandpa's expertise to guide them. What had begun as Grandpa and Grandma's retirement hobby soon blossomed into a small business venture as the younger ones expanded the patch to include different varieties of pumpkins, squash, and gourds. The produce - along with straw bales, baskets, and occasionally pumpkin bread - is available for sale at a roadside stand next to the farm from the beginning of September through the end of October each year. We generally welcome any individual, family, or group who wishes to pick their own produce from the vine. Please schedule an appointment first by calling, emailing, or messaging us.
