CSAs & Diversified Revenue at Mulberry Moon Farm
Tuesday September 1 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
At Mulberry Moon Farm, variety is the spice of life, not only in the vegetables that they grow but also in how they market and sell them in their community and more recently, how they engage with their community on the farm.
Started in 2010 and run by Alex and Kim, with support from their staff and families, Mulberry Moon is a small-scale organic vegetable farm in Strathroy dedicated to growing fresh, local produce and organic seedlings for their local community. They sell their vegetables through their weekly farm share (CSA) and wholesale to local restaurants and retail stores. In addition, they have a year-round self serve farm store and an annual seedling sale.
Most recently, they set-up a farm stay experience where guests can book a glass greenhouse retrofitted into a cabin and tucked into the hawthorn woods of the farm for overnight stays.
Join Alex, Kim and EFAO on this field day for a tour of their farm and a discussion of their diversified revenue streams and how this has been an
essential tool in their farm’s resilience. Following the tour and conversation, participants are invited to enjoy their own picnic lunch on the farm before departures.
