Fall and Winter 2019 - 2020

Blue Moon Acres farm was started by Jim and Kathy Lyons in 1992 as a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) farm, growing a small array of vegetables and greens at the home farm in Buckingham, PA.

Now, twenty-seven years later, Blue Moon Acres is known as the premier supplier of micro greens to the top restaurants in New York and Philadelphia. The farm has grown to include numerous varieties of micro greens, specialty greens, edible flowers, and produce in the greenhouses and fields in Buckingham and Pennington, NJ. Blue Moon Acres uses only natural methods in the growing process- no synthetic fertilizers, chemical pesticides, fungicides, herbicides, fertilizers, GMO’s or growth regulators are ever used.

At our Pennington, NJ farm, new ideas, technologies, equipment, and techniques are being implemented to grow plants that naturally resist disease and pests, increase soil carbon and build soil structure, increase soil microbial/ fungal populations and diversity, and solubilize nutrients previously locked up in the soil. Healthy soil = healthy crops = healthy people = healthy ecology.

In April of 2018, Blue Moon Acres was voted 2018 NJ Farm Local Hero by Edible New Jersey magazine readers for helping to ‘sustain the healthy bounty that defines and flavors our Garden State’ (out of 9000 NJ farms).

The premise now is the same as it was at the beginning to grow good-quality food that is in accordance with sustainable agriculture practices.
