Our Farm's Story: Six Generations in Atkins, Iowa

Bloomsbury Farm was homesteaded in 1856. Dave Petersen, the 5th generation to take over the Farm - along with his wife Karen, started the agritourism business in 1995. Their daughters Jessica and Samantha are also both a big part of the business. In years since, it serves as a destination for thousands of Eastern Iowans each year who want to get away from city lights and take in a beautiful, living, breathing farm.
