Blessed Up Blooms – Atlanta, Georgia
Grant Award: $4,975
Project: Plant native Rabbiteye blueberries on a one-acre certified organic farm to diversify production, improve soil health, and strengthen ecological practices.
Outcome: Blessed Up Blooms is laying the foundation for long-term fruit production by preparing planting areas with biodegradable mulch and wood chips to protect the soil, retain moisture, and suppress weeds. The farm has secured its Rabbiteye blueberry plants and they’re staged for late-winter planting. This marks an important step in diversifying the farm beyond cut flowers while strengthening its regenerative growing practices.
The investment also supports future harvests, enhances on-farm biodiversity, and builds economic resilience by helping the farm expand into perennial fruit production. It’s well-positioned for productive yields and ecological benefits in the years ahead.
