I was just thinking about you (our CSA customers) and wondering what you do on rainy days? Many years ago a sign sat on a self in my little log cabin, it said, "God made rainy days so gardeners could get their housework done," and indeed I still use rainy days to do housework and book work. But that doesn't get the produce to you. Just take a second look at the above picture, you probably can't see the rain but it is raining, and look at the faithful farm crew who are in the field working. When the veggies come your way this week just think about the reality that someone may very well have worked in the rain to make that food a reality for you. This is the real life of a farmer and the good thing is we all love it - even on the rainy days!

A Rainy Day...Week!
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.
