Meet the Team Behind Your Veggies
We believe that knowing where your food comes from is just as important as knowing who grew it. At Moon Valley Farm, our team is made up of dedicated, passionate people who deeply value growing good food sustainably!
Behind every leafy green or delicious tomato in your box is a dedicated team member working behind-the-scenes. We’re so grateful for every one of our staff members, who helps us harvest, pack, and deliver local organic produce to our community. Here’s a breakdown of the different teams that make up our farm!
Owner + Farmer, Emma
Emma is the visionary, farmer, and the reason we're all here! She founded Moon Valley Farm in 2012 with a mission to localize our food system and unite all people around our common denominator, the need to eat—by providing access to reliable, healthy, responsibly-grown and fresh food. She oversees the farm's overall operations, leads the team, and serves many important roles in the community to represent organic farming.
Production Team
Our Production Team members are the folks prepping our fields, planting, and nurturing each crop. From seeding to irrigation, their dedication ensures everything we grow meets our highest organic standards. We’re so grateful for all of their hard work to set our plants up for success! Jenna oversees our greenhouses, Matt and Mario can usually be found driving a tractor, and Michael has led our Farm Production for the last four years.
Harvest Team
This crew starts early in the morning to harvest each vegetable at the perfect moment. We harvest based on exact orders for our CSA, retail, restaurants, and wholesale accounts. Jose Sr. leads this team and it also includes Ricardo, Jose Manuel, William, Jahir, Jose Jr. + Byron. This team knows exactly when a pepper has reached peak sweetness or a zucchini is just the right size. Their speed, skill, and care is essential and much appreciated!
Pack Team
Grant, our Aggregation Manager, orders in from our vendors and partner farms to add to our local offerings. All of the produce from our fields and our partner farm fields ends up in the Pack Shed to fulfill orders! Emmanuel leads the Pack team as they pack hundreds of orders a day - making sure to carefully note any CSA swaps and accurately pack each order. The Pack Team, including Noe and Juan, oversees receiving, sorting, washing, and packing produce for orders. Their valuable role requires a great attention to detail to keep everything fresh, clean, and packed correctly for your table.
Fleet Team
Rob manages our Fleet Team - creating delivery routes and leading drivers. A lot of thoughtful work and logistics go into creating our routes and delivering orders! Our drivers (Andrew, David, Jim, Matt, and Susan) are responsible for getting our produce safely from the farm to your home, pick up location, favorite restaurant, and all of our wholesale locations. They navigate traffic, unpredictable weather, and early-morning routes with attentiveness. If you see one of our drivers out making your delivery, make sure to say hi!
Admin + Customer Support Team
This crew helps create, manage, and communicate with you about your orders. If you’ve ever reached out to us with a question, you’ve probably talked to Jeanne, Sierra, or Amy! Julie + Sierra coordinate printing/highlighting labels and invoices. This team is organized, detail-oriented, and makes sure our customers receive the best support!
Marketing + Sales Team
This team gets the word out about our farm and helps us grow sustainably. They connect with the community to promote supporting our farm and ordering local produce. Ann + Becky oversee chefs, schools, and wholesale accounts. Jeanne oversees our overall marketing and keeps you in the loop with farm happenings, what’s in season to order, and other updates with newsletters. We’re grateful for their efforts in helping us grow!
