hey there!

WE’RE THE JARBOE FAMILY.

Last year, we ran with the opportunity to come back to our “Kentucky home.”

We moved to northern Utah during the pandemic. There were various reasons, a main one being Brandy’s mother going through cancer treatment (which we are so grateful to say she came out of and is doing well today!)

Many blessings unfolded during our time there which we can absolutely see now, but we also struggled being in a place that didn’t ever entirely feel like “home.” We met some wonderful people along the way, and had some great experiences, but we are so, so happy to be home.

We returned with some new additions — which we can see now was absolutely THE reason, if we had to choose one, that we spent that time in Utah. We were blessed to add four (yes, FOUR more!) children to our family and know without a doubt that this is why we ended up staying longer than we had planned, and we are so grateful for that part of it.

Another special opportunity we had while in Utah was purchasing and growing — “blooming” if you will — our restaurant. There was a restaurant downtown there near the university that came up for sale due to the current owners wanting to pursue other interests, and the timing worked out so perfectly for us! It was super cute, and had the type of food we liked. Seemed like a fun adventure, so we went all in!

We felt very inspired to rebrand when we took over, and are very proud of the hard work we put into it. It was a very special place for us, and it was very well received. We are so grateful to be able to share it now here in Matt’s hometown.

We had the most amazing staff there. So many hard working high school and college students and otherwise who each have left an imprint on our hearts. I’m certain we will have the same experience here with our staff because our brand is more than just a name; it encompasses positivity and growth and nurture.

Bringing Bloom Eatery here to Grayson County has been a dream of ours since the very beginning. We love the idea of sharing these fresh, healthier food options with this community. We hope you all enjoy it as much as we do and hope that Bloom becomes a light here as we have envisioned. Looking forward to connecting with you all soon!
