Home / CSA /CSA Farms / Barking Moon Farm / Barking Moon FarmFarmers: Josh Cohen & Melissa MatthewsonFarm: A 10 acre farm, 1 acre in produce. Located in the Thompson Creek Watershed, Jackson Co, Southern Oregon. We’ve been farming for four years at several farms (Whistling Duck Farm, Blue Fox Farm, Rattlesnake Community Farm [in Missoula] and Clark Fork Organics [in Missoula], but this will be our first year on our own land. We are working on putting together a lot of infrastructure this first year and hope to sell to multiple markets in 2008. The land used to be a cattle and hay ranch and is actually the site of an old ghost town called Bingham. The ground has not been plowed in over 30 years. We grow organically, but have not certified yet. We would like to join the Salmon Safe and Organic programs next year. We have irrigation water from Thompson Creek . We do not have interns, but would like to have them, once we set up housing for next year. Josh and Melissa have a passion for small farm organic agriculture and want to integrate animals, vegetables, fruit and native plants into their whole farm setting. They have been farming and gardening together for seven years. They have a farm dog, forty chickens and are expecting their first child this spring. Contact: Josh Cohen & Melissa Matthewson |
