Many of you have wondered if the customized boxes have added a lot of work for us and the answer is NO. Here is how it works. Joshua makes a list of the produce that will be available this week. When we send the email this morning it will automatically customize your boxes based on your preferences and then you will have the option to swap out or add additional items. On the day of delivery we print out a pick list that tells us how many of each item we need to harvest. That pick list is organized by weight and the order in which things should be placed into the boxes...simple! We line up 3 tables with the produce lined up on the back and one person calls out the items while the other pushes the box along the front of the table packing the box. At the end of the table we stick the label on...DONE...In the van it goes. It takes approximately 1 minutes to pack each boxes which is no more than before we were customizing the boxes. So enjoy the customization knowing it is a win for you and us too!

About the farm
Bountiful Blessings Farm was established in the fall of 1998 as an organic, u-pick strawberry farm. After five years of hard knocks (it’s hard to have all your “eggs” in one basket), we expanded to winter vegetable production in the fall of 2003, and then into year-round production in 2010. We now provide our customers with vegetables and berries (in season) 10 months of the year. Although all 5 of our children have given of their blood and sweat to make the farm into what it is today, Joshua (our second son), along with his wife Kelli, and our youngest son, Caleb are full time with us on the farm and together we make the core team. Beyond us we have a couple of "managers" (former interns who work with us) and 5-6 interns a season. It is our goal to bring you the most nutritious and beautiful produce we possibly can.
