May and the first part of June are pretty intense with the start of 2 farmers markets & picking strawberries 3 days a week. As a celebration of surviving the Spring rush we always take our farm crew on a trip down the Buffalo River. Everyone looks forward to a day on the river and the change of pace, relaxation, rejuvenation and fun that comes from recreation in the great outdoors. The above photo is Farmer John helping the intern girls after he tipped them out of their canoe! Working together is so much better when you also play together - something we learned raising our children : ). Enjoy some summer favorites that you should find in your boxes this 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.
