Greetings Dear Friend,
Thank you for visiting our farms' website. From here you will be able to learn more about who we are, what we stand for, what we are doing on a regular basis on the farm and how we serve our shared ecosystems and communities. First of all, we are Anna Maria and Lucian, parents, farmers and educators, with a deep love and respect for all life, including yours! We are here in this space, at Sun And Bloom Farms, in Lebanon Missouri, committed to grow a diversity of nutrient dense, healthy, seasonally appropriate and beautiful food and medicine for the local community and beyond, while also regenerating the ecosystems and communities we work in. That means that our practices are beyond organic standards, focusing on building resilient soil and biodiversity, while also inspiring, empowering and supporting others to participate in this healing movement. Our passion for this approach comes from more than a decade designing, developing and implementing community transformational programs within academic, government, business and non-profit environments. We trained and educated over ten thousand individuals in the realms of permaculture, horticulture, small scale regenerative farming, and homesteading, community building and entrepreneurial practical skills, while also growing tons of incredible food and medicine. We are now transforming this space, our third and indefinite farm, into a fully working multi enterprise agricultural and educational facility. We invite you to be part of this journey with us and we look forward to connecting with you! Join one of our workshops or more and get our food at the local farmers' markets, at our farm or other local farm stands! Looking forward to being in community with you! Anna Maria & Lucian |
