Sun Moon Farm

Our gardens and trees are never sprayed and are maintained with manure from our animals, rotational planting, cover crops, and rest when appropriate. It is food we feel good about, food we are proud to offer.

Originally known as the "Thomas Farm," this property was settled just after the American Revolutionary War. The barn and several buildings were built by the Thomas family in the late 18th and early 19th century. In 1957 the farm was purchased by The Meeting School, a co-ed boarding and day school guided by the principles and practices of the Religious Society of Friends, or Quakers

The school's academic and residential life programs were grounded in a belief in the inherent worth of every human being, the dignity of physical labor, and the recognition that each individual can enrich the community as a whole. The school upheld this property's long history of agriculture by integrating the farm into class work and community life, and by growing a good percentage of the food that the school community required.

Megan and Craig met in 2003 while working for the Meeting School. In addition to growing food, Craig and Megan served this community as teachers, house-parents and cooks. Following the closing of the school program in 2011, we have worked to keep a part of the school's spirit alive by connecting with a wider community through our vegetable CSA.

By continuing good stewardship of this land and developing relationships with a whole new population, we hope to continue living into the Quaker testimonies of community, peace, simplicity, stewardship, and integrity that were at the heart of the school's mission. As we begin this 5th CSA season, we are also working hard to re-establish a vibrant community on the property in the form of a small cohousing neighborhood. On October 1, 2011 we were married here on the farm. In 2015 we had a baby named Fox Mitchell Jensen.

Each season we hire one or two farm interns to live and work here with our family.
