Summary
Zydeco Moon farm has been growing beautiful organic produce for the past four years. We are certified organic by the USDA. The standards require that we have an environmental plan for our farm which prevents erosion and amends the soil in a planned way. A rotation plan for our crops is required to assist in preventing disease. We also have a beneficial landscape of various wildflowers to attract beneficial insects rather than rely totally on spraying. We are required to document everything that we do in the field to insure it meets current organic standards.
Over the last 4 years we have incorporated more land into farming so that we now have a total of 5 acres. We begin planting in March each year and have produce into November. Our primary crops are asparagus, sugar snap and snow peas, all varieties of lettuce, beets, spinach, leeks, heirloom tomatoes, bell peppers, summer and winter squash and fingerling potatoes. We're always looking to try something new, including our latest, purple and yellow cauliflower. We sell at the Watauga County farmers market and at the farm. During the growing season we are always here so stop by and visit or call ahead to have your order ready.
Our cabins are located on 61 acres with .5 mile on Big Helton Creek. The fly fishing on Helton Creek offers some of the best in North Carolina. The stream is stocked regularly with several fishing holes stocked on our property. Guests can also hike the many trails on our property, which rises to an elevation of 3200 feet.
