Fall is creeping in here at Joyful Acres!

Come see us today!

Hello Friends, hope you all are great. Some of you may know, and most of you might not know, 900 East is indeed closed. However, it is south of Joyful Acres so we are not impacted.

You will just need to drive through the barricades and proceed down a half mile to us at 5401 S 900 E.

IF you are coming from the south (i.e. Stockwell, Colfax, Clarks Hill), you will need to drive up to Wyandotte Road and then make your way south to us.

Sorry for the trouble; hopefully cleared up soon.

Happy Friday Friends! Hope you all have an enjoyable Labor Day Weekend! We are looking forward to seeing you at Joyful A...

Welcome to September Friends! One of my favorite months of the year!

People are always asking me to offer cooking classes and lessons, and sadly that is not really an option in my life.

BUT I am going to try to start offering more cooking tips/ideas here on the Joyful Acres page!

So let's start with all learning how to make homemade Apple Sauce. You may seriously never buy it from the store again!

If you make this apple sauce, I would love to hear from you! Share your pic/story of your delicious homemade goodness with all of us here at Joyful Acres! πŸ€—πŸŽ

When I first bought Joyful Acres 19 years ago, we had 2 persimmon trees...a male and a female.

About 10 or 11 years ago, I decided on a whim to stop mowing the saplings, and as a result we now have over 500 persimmon trees. Literally no exaggeration!
We call that area in our yard 'The Jungle'.

My oldest son kindly cut a trail through it, and I love that little 'deep woods' walk.

I love the sweet delicious taste of persimmons and happily share the pulp with you all. However, this year I am going to try my best to actually add some persimmon goodies to the Joyful Acres farm stand. Be looking for both pulp and goodies to arrive in October. 🧑

Good Morning Friends! Hope you are all doing great!

Gardens and produce have been a bit challenging this summer so it is making me look forward to fall and winter when I bake more.

What flavors and/or varieties of sourdough bread would you all like to see at the Joyful Acres farm market?

Tell me what you are thinking and 1 person will randomly win a free loaf of sourdough to be awarded the week of September 7th.

I did have a mishap last week of letting my dough overproof and I turned it into amazing rosemary and garlic focaccia. May just share that with you all soon! πŸ€—

Cannot wait to hear what you all say!
