Meet HOI owner, Abby Sharp! ❤️
“I bought heart of iowa from my mother in law February 2020. So I’ve officially only owned for a little over a year. 🤍
I grew up in Wisconsin and moved to Iowa for a degree in landscape architecture. Graduated in 2012. 🎓👩🎓
My husband and I love the outdoors. We have a Scamp trailer we take almost every weekend camping in the summer with our white lab Emma. 🏕🚍🐶
We also like to renovate homes in the Des Moines area. Our current renovation is a 1960’s mid century modern party pad in the Lake Halice neighborhood in Urbandale.” 🏠🔨🪜
Show Abby some love and tell us where you like to go camping! 👇🏽

Abby is one of my very favorite people! I’ve never seen anyone put so much work and show so much pride for their business like Abby does. She’s a wonderful leader. Also, we like to camp in NE Iowa by the trout streams!
