Our Farming Philosophy
At Moon River Organic Farm, everything begins with the soil. We believe that truly nutritious food can only come from healthy, living soil — a complex web of fungi, microbes, earthworms, and organic matter working together below our feet. By nurturing that life, we create the foundation for vibrant crops, resilient ecosystems, and nourishing food.
Our approach is rooted in regenerative, organic farming practices:
- Keeping the soil covered with living plants and cover crops to protect and feed the soil.
- Minimizing tillage to preserve delicate fungal networks and microbial life.
- Building soil fertility naturally with compost, crop rotations, and organic amendments.
- Using natural pest and disease controls only when necessary, always choosing observation and prevention first.
Healthy soil grows healthy plants — and healthy plants don’t need constant chemical interventions. By farming in balance with nature, we’re not only producing food, but also sequestering carbon, increasing biodiversity, and leaving the land better than we found it.
While our fields are still being prepared for their first planting season, our commitment is already clear: Moon River Organic Farm will be a place where soil health and community health go hand in hand. With the support of CSA members, farmers’ market customers, and neighbors, we aim to grow food that nourishes both people and the planet.
