Episode Details

After devastating floods, Johnson is rising from the ashes—with a sweet twist. Charles and Morna Flaum launched Discover Johnson to rebuild the town, kicking off with a blueberry-picking festival that yielded over 100 pounds of berries for pies, muffins, and tea. More than just a feast, it was a morale boost for residents still healing from trauma. Once a food desert, Johnson now benefits from a new general store and festival proceeds funding the local food shelf. Local farms, untouched or lightly damaged by floodwaters, supplied the bountiful harvest—a symbol of resilience. And they’re already planning an even bigger next year’s event. Johnson isn’t just recovering—it’s thriving.
