Half Moon
Farm is an eight-acre farmstead, located on a crescent-shaped bend
of Walker Creek, adjacent to the mountains and waterfalls of Pisgah
National Forest in Western North Carolina, operating entirely off
solar power.
Will Harlan and Emily Diznoff founded Half Moon Farm in 2005. The
nonprofit farm provides fresh, local, organic produce to low-income
families in need. The farm also assists migrant workers in Western
North Carolina who toil in the fields but often cannot afford the
fruits of their labor. They also promote sustainable agriculture
and ecology, and offer health and nutrition education.

toothbrushes and razors. There are many collection sites, including
local Whole Foods stores.
