Rising Moon, Setting Sun is a fruit and vegetable farm located in the Finger Lakes of New York. The farm is managed in cooperation with the fundamentals of Nature and rhythms of the Earth. Over 100 varieties of fruit and vegetables are grown, using organically approved methods of cultivation. Most of the work is done by hand, otherwise, a very efficient compact tractor is used sparingly. A grass and legume based compost is produced on farm and is the primary source of fertility. A broad range of cover crops and green manures are also used extensively within the low/no till permanent raised beds. Organic seeds are used whenever possible. There are 9 fields, each separated by native pasture and wildflowers. The farm is currently running an 8 year crop rotation plan. All products are sold within a 45 mile radius of the farm.

Our farming philosophy: Pasture Raised, Grass-fed Vegetables
