Small Farmers Pivot to Online Orders to Compete With Amazon and Walmart | Eater
"A farm that redeployed trucks normally used for restaurant routes in the Baltimore and Washington, D.C. markets to deliver CSA shares and a la carte vegetable orders to consumers, using delivery as a strategy to replace lost restaurant sales and keep drivers employed." - Lisa Held
We signed up for the Moon Valley CSA earlier this year (and also did the fruit share over the summer). It’s been a little over six months, and we are so pleased with our decision! We love the convenient pickup location, the easy system to pause weeks and make swaps, and most of all the variety of high-quality, local produce we get. It feels and tastes good to support local and sustainable agriculture.

Beautiful, high-quality, healthy produce delivered right to our door. Outstanding, friendly customer service. Love the “swap” feature, which allows flexibility in ordering and meal planning. Have also had fun trying veggies that we’ve never or rarely eaten before. Have subscribed for two years now, and have recommended Moon Valley to friends and neighbors.

This is amazing farm and farmer - I've been a member of the CSA for many years and have enjoyed both the fresh organic produce and the community Farmer Emma has built. The CSA website is easy to use, orders include the opportunity to swap, and the farm provides an opportunity to donate if you can't use your share (you can also place a share on hold instead of donating). The staff is always helpful and kind. I could not be happier with my decision to be part of the FARMily!

I signed up for a biweekly produce box in June. The variety of produce is really good and the swap options are a lot of fun. The produce arrives in great shape. They have the best nectarines and cherry tomatoes I’ve ever had. Their communication is great; I get email reminders when the window is open to add things or make swaps, they provide detailed instructions about how swaps work and what to expect, and I get heads up emails about what’s expected in my next box. It’s been a lot of fun and keeps me eating fruits and veggies. Wholeheartedly recommend.

I have a lot of gratitude for Moon Valley Farm. My partner and I have enjoyed and looked forward to our produce box each week. We have both learned a lot about how fruits and veggies actually *should* look and taste, and we have gained a newfound appreciation for local, sustainable foods. Thanks to you guys, I barely have to go to the grocery store anymore and my money stays here in the community. We also found that our monthly food expenses have decreased significantly because we have so much to work with at home.
P.S. Sharing a photo of one of our delicious CSA meals from this summer - roasted zucchini, tomato and mozzarella sandwich on a homemade pan de Cristal.

I truly love Moon Valley Farms! Every week, we receive fresh, locally grown fruits and vegetables (and herbs) delivered to our house. The ability to customize our weekly delivery to meet our appetites, plus the informative emails, and recipe offerings is a wonderful value add for the farm's customers.
