IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!! DAVIDSON LOCATION PICK UP HAS BEEN CHANGED
TO HOME DELIVERY!!! Recent circumstances have dictated that I make a change to CSA
for this year's session. There will only be one session and it will
run for the entire months of JUNE, JULY AND AUGUST. I still have 4 spaces left
if anyone is interested. Also, it is no longer a Saturday member pick up, it is a Tuesday
delivery to your location, as long as you live in the Mooresville/Davidson or
Huntersville/Cornelius area. If you are interested, please drop me an email for more details.
Bringing fresh, local, "direct from the farm" produce right to your front door!
Join New Moon Farm CSA today!
CSA -- COMMUNITY SUPPORTING AGRICULTURE
Want to eat local but too busy to go to the Farmer's Market every week? CSA is the perfect solution for busy
folks who want to support their local farm and food economy but find it difficult to regularly shop their local
markets. We bring high quality, fresh local produce, fruits and other farm goods right to your front door!
Plus, being involved in a CSA offers members the opportunity to not only receive a wonderful selection of weekly direct from
the farm produce, it also helps to support a number of small family farms in the community.
The cost of membership in a CSA differs from most buying clubs because there is no added fee to join and members
enjoy the benefit of pooling the resources of the group to get the best price for the best produce. By working
with a pool of farms we are able to offer a wide variety of produce, fruits and other farm goods to our members.
Offering a Helping Hand to the Farmers
Some CSA's support only one or two farms. We work with a group of 10-15 farms over the long
growing season. Several of these farmers I have worked with these last two years
voiced the opinion that getting their products to a farmer's
market was a hardship. More pressure from competition in the market place, the time away from the farm actually going
to a market, the uncertainty of sales at markets and waste of unsold perishables are all things that are addressed by
New Moon CSA's distribution of their produce. That is a great thing for everyone involved. It means that no only are
members getting a superior product from these people, they are helping to support friends and neighbors and allow
them to continue to work close to their land. North Carolina is losing farmland at a fast pace and anything that helps
keep a family farm going can only be a good thing.
Other Stuff...
Because our CSA membership is small, we offer home delivery in the Mooresville/Davidson/Lake Norman (Huntersville-Cornelius)
area, as well as in Lincolnton. In addition to CSA, New Moon also offers heirloom and herb plants and other farm produced items for
sale throughout the season at several farmer's market locations.
