What is a CSA/Why CSA

CSA, or community supported agriculture,  is a program in which individuals purchase a share in the farm. In exchange for investing in the farm, they receive a bountiful selection of fresh vegetables every week throughout the season. Shares are purchased before the start of the growing season to allow farmers to focus on growing the highest-quality produce for shareholders.  This establishes a relationship with your local farm.

We hope that our CSAs and market stands can help our community eat healthier, have better food security, and offer community programs that will help our future farmers learn about agriculture.

Meet the Farm-ily!

We are Derek, Kelly and Beverly Campbell, the family behind Moon River Ranch CSA!  While Derek and Kelly tag-team several critical farm tasks, Derek is mainly responsible for infrastructure and the “heavy lifting” that the farm requires.  Kelly balances (or tries to) her time between starting and caring for the plants and caring for their almost 4-year-old daughter, Bev.  While on some days, Bev enjoys “helping” her parents in the greenhouse, her passion for gardening has not quite set in, much to her parent’s chagrin!

Our Story

We moved onto the family property in Clinton in May of 2020 and were eager to figure out a way to continue the legacy of the family ranch and improve the community.  We decided on a three-quarter acre market garden, supplying fresh vegetables to our surrounding rural communities, through a CSA model and weekly farm stands.  We really wanted this to be available to anyone, so we began offering SNAP/EBT, with Double SNAP dollars, WIC, and administered the Senior Farmer Market Nutrition Program in Granite County, all to help people eat great food! 

Fast forward to 2023, we were fortunate enough to lock down land in Philipsburg, thanks to the support of our amazing community here.  This move brought a whole slough of challenges that we slowly worked through in 2023 but we are excited to continue our journey here in Philipsburg!
