Farmer Lily
grew up in Southern California. After college she caught the gardening bug. In 2012 she started her WWOOFing (willing workers on organic farms) adventure in New Zealand. After working on a small biodynamic farm for 2 months she was hooked. She returned to the states seeking out small, sustainable farms in rural Oregon. She wound up at R-evolution Gardens where she fell in love with the small coastal community and a fellow WWOOFer... After returning to the big city of her youth to do some urban farming with Kayleigh, she officially decided the big city wasn't for her. She's been back on the coast farming since 2015.
FArmer Kayleigh
was born in Wisconsin with farming in the family. She grew up with summer visits to her grandparents dairy farm and got the taste for farm life at a young age. She continued her agricultural interest when her family moved to Tennessee, working on a small diversified farm through high school. After getting a degree, she followed her passion for food, learning about the connection between cultures and their food systems. What started as a six week WWOOFing trip to the Oregon coast in the spring of 2012, turned in to the next big adventure when Kayleigh and Lily met at R-Evolution Gardens. They felt at home in the area and started Moon River Farm in 2017.
