Handing the bouquet of snapdragons to a young boy I asked, "Have you ever heard a miracle story?" I looked a little bewildered as he sheepishly said, "No." "Well, these are miracle snapdragons!" I asked him if he wanted to hear the story and he nodded his hid head in agreement. I went on to tell him a bit of what John shared in last weeks, "What's Happening." One little point makes the difference between .7 and 7pounds. It was Boron a mineral that we use sparingly on our 30x50ft. garden pads. One of our interns mistakenly missed the "point" and applied 7 lbs of Boron on 2 of our pads. One was full of lettuce and the other with flowers. Our soil consultant told us there was good and bad news. The good news was it was a temporary problem that would not cause long term soil imbalances. The bad news was that all the plants would probably die...we asked God for mercy...4 weeks later Kelli has harvested dozens of beautiful bouquets of snapdragons and you have all received beautiful heads of mini lettuce from those pad. John talked to our soil consultant again last week and he said it was the worst Boron mistake he had ever heard of. Miracles DO still happen, and we feel so privileged to work in cooperation with the Creator of heaven and earth.

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.
