Bloom Where You're Planted Farm is located on a farmstead established in 1881. The farm was purchased in 1944 by Bill and Florence Brandt, who were the grandparents of current owner Teresa Lorensen who now operate the farm with her husband Terry. The name of the business has special significance. In the years when Teresa was dissatisfied with her career and looking for something more fulfilling, her mother would tell her to “bloom where you’re planted,” or in other words, make the most of the place you’re at in life. Those words helped inspire the Lorensens to take the leap, and in 2005 they opened a new business on the farm where they had been "planted".
