Blue
Moon Farm is a family owned small farm dedicated to bringing you the highest
quality sustainably grown garlic and other produce. Our products are only
available by mail order or at a few select markets locally (Kentucky).
For those of you new to Blue Moon Farm, let us introduce ourselves. There
are just the two of us, Leo Keene and Jean Pitches Keene... spouses, friends
and sole labor on the farm. Both are East Coast transplants...Leo from Maryland's
Eastern Shore and Jean from New York's Hudson Valley. We share our lives and
home with our buddies Moonshadow, the best Rottweiler around, Mouse, a little
stray Jack Russell (?) mix (we call him our "Nottweiler!) we found sleeping
in our barn in 2008, and Machashi, our old Siamese kitty (named after a garlic......what
else!). They add their love and senses of humor to our days on the farm.
Blue Moon Farm sits on the high side of a bend in the Kentucky River, in Madison
County, Kentucky (the south central part of the state). We are blessed with
a small river bottom of wonderful soil, forests, pasture, hills, waterfalls,
beautiful wildflowers and abundant wildlife.
We don't expect that our choice of life's work will ever make us wealthy in
a monetary sense, but when we look out over the river valley from our perch
here on top of the hill at twilight, we feel like the richest people in the
world!
