Bless'd Blossom Garden LLC

Hannah specializes in greenhouse growing — pruning plants to grow vigorously, and trellising vertically to make the most of a small space and increase yield. In a 100-foot greenhouse, she can fit eight rows of tomatoes. That equates to more than 600 heirloom tomato plants towering more than 12 feet high. She envisions a future with market gardens built on the foundation of healthy soil in each city, which could revolutionize the food system.

Hannah has sold at farmers markets and farm stands. She also sells directly to many private chefs and local chefs who know the value of local food and seasonal menus, including Backdoor Bistro’s Chef Lindsey Chelini. This season, she has been selling most of her produce to the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano. The Food Bank has a grant that helps it pay her organic prices. She picks the food the same day it’s delivered and it stays in Solano County to go to people who need it. That grant has been a huge boon, but it ends in June, and she’s not expecting that it will be available again. Hannah is hoping to have a flower/vegetable Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) subscription soon. She can be found @blessdblossom on Instagram for updates.
