Orchard News
Bloodfire Orchards is moving forward quickly and I’d love for you to come along on this journey with me. I heard a calling to grow in 2022 at the age of 48 and surrendered to find that God has turned me into a farmer. Surrender to Jesus and watch what can happen in your life. Don’t fear, God is not fear. Fear is the devil trying to distract you from your Devine God Purpose.
We are all here to help each other accomplish our missions from God. Who knew mine would be farming? I didn’t, but I can tell you that I am happier than I have ever been.
If you want to surrender, but are scared - and you’d like some encouragement and to hear how God has changed not only my life but those around me - PLEASE REACH OUT!
Georgia Grown Organic Turmeric and medicinals found here!
