The synergy of diverse plants and animals raised together creates a balanced ecosystem, returning fertility to the earth naturally.
-
Healthy soils promote disease resistance in plants and reduce the need for chemical pesticides or fertilizers. Providing habitats for diverse insect and animal populations helps keep pests in check.
-
Food that does not travel long-distance is fresher and often riper, since it does not need to be stored for long periods of time. Direct sales to local customers allow us to focus on quality, not quantity.

This farm is more than just a place where food is grown. We hope our neighbors will see us as a place where they can come to learn about farming, relax with friends and loved ones, and enjoy a communal open space.
​
The community that supports our farm is as crucial as the soil in which the crops are grown. We hope you get a chance to try some of the produce.
We are located on 18 acres along Interstate 10 in Weimar, Texas about 85 miles west of Houston and 6 miles west of Columbus, Texas. Be sure to visit blessed farms on Facebook (not setup yet). If you do, you will see a listing of fruits and vegetables available from the farm throughout the week.
"We pledge to improve our growing methods each season in service to this ideal."

Howdy and welcome! The owners of Blessed Farms are Lee and Helen Jones, and this is a place where you can find healthy Fruits and Vegetables! We are committed to steering our farm away from outside inputs and towards a self-sustaining system. We are confident that even in our difficult Texas climate, we can grow good food – fruits and vegetables that are nutritious for us and for the land. All of the fruits and vegetables on this farm are vegan friendly and there are many selections to chose from. We pledge to improve our growing methods each season in service to this ideal.
We are vegetarians, but eat a mostly vegan diet and we love cooking and baking vegan food from the farm! Farming is one of our favorite things along with growing good all natural products. We also have chickens, ducks, goats and donkeys.
​
These are some of the principles that guide us on our path.
What happens to food after it is harvested can be as important as what happens before.
