I have delayed too long in posting this update the webpage. Jeffery died on November 23, 2021 of a sudden heart attack. I was unprepared (as if any of us are when we lose someone) and it has been a struggle to do this all alone. Fortunate for me my son Cody Bryant and his family had recently moved in next door. He has become my helper and farm partner. He was already doing much of the orchard management and some beekeeping. Now he has been drawn into the Blackwater Bend Farm operation nearly full-time.
My friend Eddie Osborne has been my partner at the Warrensburg Farmer's Market on Saturdays. Life goes on even when we expect it to stop, and wish for some additional time to establish a new normal. Thank you all for your well wishes and kindness as I adjust to loving this life we built together, alone. This is everything Jeff dreamed of and he made it possible for me to live it. Dianna
