Bliss Gardens Farm and Kitchen
Bliss Gardens Farm and Community Kitchen is a 45 acre farm in Cross Village Michigan. Nestled amongst mixed hardwood forest and meadows, Bliss Gardens Farm and Community Kitchen is a new farm owned and operated by Craig and Mary Rapin. We are beginning our first year of production as Certified Naturally Grown and will be seeking Organic and Biodynamic Certification for 2011. Our farm is 45 acres total and we currently cultivate one acre of biointensive fruit and vegetable crops. We also wildcraft food and medicine from the other 44 acres.
We have a fully equipped certified kitchen offering cooking classes and available for use for product development and processing, a community supported agriculture program, and have a cooking & nutrition club for Pellston Elementary School students.
Hi! I am very interested in talking with you about your farm and community kitchen. My husband and I are trying to “figure it out” in the way of living and eating well for our family of four. I recently stopped working full time as an Events and Resource Director for a non-profit when my daughter was born this past November and I am hoping to learn the farm market way of doing things with some of my baked goods. My husband, Dave, is a Master Photographer and we are in the early stages of doing art fairs around the state. We are novice gardeners, have hopes of building a hoop house this spring and want to live healthy and be as self sufficient as we can.
Please let me know if we could make an appointment to see the farm and talk with you.
Thank you and take care,
Ann Marie Tingleff
