Farm Happenings for September 25, 2019
Looks like we have some rain coming this weekend and into next week. It might be a nice change of pace not to have to run irrigation as much.

We hope your week is going well and your CSA is enjoyable.
If possible, please bring us your pint and quart containers back the following week. We reuse them if you don't have a use for them. We are always looking to reduce our plastic footprint by recycling and reusing.

We are loving this cooler weather here at the farm. The plants are loving it too. We have started to see tomatoes coming from the field and are looking forward to have more tomato bounty.

CSA Pickup 7-31-19: We've got potatoes!
So many new things this week! Here's a pic from our onion harvest a few weeks ago. Always great to see women on tractors.

About the farm
At Blue Moon Farm, our goal is simple: Produce the most beautiful, best tasting produce possible using only organic methods. Our 20-acre organic vegetable farm located 10 miles north of Champaign-Urbana grows quality produce for Urbana's farmer's market, grocery stores, our CSA, and local restaurants. We are committed to the collective project of implementing farming practices that promote the health and well-being of the land we grow on and the people who eat our food. Buying locally leads to more accountability between the farmer and the eater and that relationship is important to us.
