Heather-Marie Bloom and John Hatcher purchased the Johnson family farm near Barnum last year after a search that became public after Hatcher wrote about the couple's effort to find land in Carlton County. Bloom runs Rising Phoenix Community Farm, a community-supported agriculture business that sells weekly shares of produce to members. Before buying the farm, Bloom had to lease land to farm and move her portable tiny house to different locations.
