Introduction

We are a moving company with a purpose as a non-profit helping men in the state of Iowa who are dealing with incarceration and addiction get the opportunity to get back on their feet. Our moving company is a 501(c)(3) non-profit so 100% of the cost of the move will go back into our program to help save lives! By hiring Harvest Academy Movers you are not only getting the most positively rated moving company in the state (over 475 5-star Google reviews), but are allowing our dedicated team to tackle addiction and incarceration to get our guys back into our community as honest, moral, responsible people. Each person on our team is valued and has their own unique story as to how they became a part of the Harvest Academy family, and how they joined our moving team. When you book a move with us, you're not only receiving the best care for the job, but you're transforming our lives for the better. We are bonded and fully insured.

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

We generally send out crews of 4 for $240/hr Monday - Saturday, Although if it requires more guys we can accommodate. If you are needing a truck, we charge a flat $150 fee within the Des Moines area. If you are not needing a truck, we charge a flat, one time $50 van fee in the Des Moines area. There is also usually a small $25-50 materials fee to wrap, tape, and protect all of your cargo when it is being packed. (Truck/van fee may very depending on travel time.) We are a non-profit and all of the proceeds from your move go to help pay for more students to attend our life changing academy.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

Once we receive a request for a quote we will contact you as soon as possible by phone to ask questions prior to giving you the quote over the phone. If we feel it may require an on site visit to give you an accurate quote, we will let you know and schedule a free visit & quote.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

We are trained in moving Pianos, Safes , Pool tables, and all household and commercial items.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

Here at Harvest Academy we use the moving company to teach our students the life-skills they need to become productive members of society. We teach our students how to live successful and productive lives through a whole person change. We believe that in order for people to change their lives, it requires an entire behavior, character, and moral reframing that takes a minimum of two years. We reframe our students three main ways: "Each on , Teach one", Student Ran Enterprises, Student Education Requirements. LIVES CHANGE HERE!!!

What types of customers have you worked with?

We just started our academy and moving company in Des Moines, IA in late 2020. Our sister academies have been helping homeowners and business owners move for over 30+ years and have been rated the top movers in their markets. These include Red Barn Movers (Farmington, UT), The Other Side Movers (Salt Lake City, UT & Denver, CO) and Delancey Street Movers (San Francisco). Check out their websites and reveiws.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Look for a moving company you can trust to take care of your valued possessions. Do they have reputable leaders and strong reviews? Secondly, ask when they begin billing for your work? Is it when they leave their office or when they arrive at your home/office? Lastly, are their team members developing a valued centered life while moving yours?

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

How many rooms are you moving? Will we be going up/down stairs where you are leaving and/or moving to? Any special/large items (pool table, piano, safe) to move? Have you considered outdoor items, garage and basement items in your move? Do you want us to do your packing? If not, do you need any moving supplies for you to complete the packing?
