When people say, "I have good news and bad news" which do you want to hear first? I am a bad news person...give me the bad news first. So, here is the bad news from the farm. We tried something new this year and planted some of our early crops next to the tomato plants. Well, the tomato plants grew so fast that they shaded the crops sown next to them causing them not done so well. We had a hoop house jump 6' in a bad wind storm and damage a significant amount of our next planting. So the bad news is that things are a little slim right now but the good news is that we will have tomatoes earlier than we have ever had them before - in fact we are already picking a few! The other good news is that we have picked our first ripe strawberries and many more are on the way! More good news is that the asparagus is starting to burst through the mulch. So if this box is a little slim (the bad news) just know that more bounty (the good news) is on its way!

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.
