Lady Moon Farms began
in 1987 on a 22 acre farmette in Selinsgrove, PA. We added land
as demand for organic vegetables grew, and moved to our current
location in Chambersburg in 1996. Demand continued to grow and
we tried a venture in Florida in 1999, which is now in full production
in Punta Gorda outside of Fort Meyers. This gave us year-round
availability to our customers and a year-round income! With the
addition of another farm in the Chambersburg area this year, our
total acreage is now close to 900. That's a lot of vegetables!!!
About the Beddard's
We are still a family farm
and Chris and Tom run the show. Our children grew up making
hundreds of boxes, working on the packing lines and moving flat
of plants. Ellis is in the army after running the loading dock
for us and Carla is in college, but summertime still sees daughters
Anais and Carla working for Mom and Dad.
While we have upwards of
60 employees at times, we still remember that one tomato line
in an oak grove without even a roof. Dad driving a pickup and
a 12' trailer to the health food stores in Jersey, Philly, and
DC. Mom was a tarping wizard.
