Growing a Successful CSA from the Ground-Up at Moon Valley Farm | Maryland Farm & Harvest

At Moon Valley Farm in Woodsboro, Maryland, we meet first generation farmer Emma Jagoz, who has built a year-round CSA growing produce. But before the hoop houses and farm fields, Emma’s agricultural journey began as an expectant mother hoping fresh veggies like arugula would help her baby’s development. After blowing her grocery budget one too many times, Emma started a balcony garden on a lark. Twelve years later, Emma has grown well beyond the garden and her CSA is now responsible for feeding over 600 families, a testament to her tenacity and love of farming.
