About us.

The Gardens.

Waxing Moon Gardens is a small-scale intensive vegetable production project. We farm on a human scale, meaning that only hand tools are used to build and cultivate our gardens. By doing this, we are building, supporting and feeding the soil food web in a way that is regenerative and sustainable in the long term. We are certified organic, but we use no pesticides, insecticides or sprays of any kind. 

Our gardens are currently located on the land of Sacred Nectar Sanctuary.

Zach.

Zach grew up in southern NH, where he developed a love for nature. After taking a position at Farmsteads of New England, he fell in love with farming. For a couple years he tried other things, but farming just kept pulling him back. Getting back into farming Zach started a 3 year journey with the vegetable crew at Brookford Farm in Canterbury, NH. At Brookford Farm Zach spent most of his days there either planting or harvesting. Feeling the importance of a sense of community and his drive to help regenerate the land, he made the decision to start Waxing Moon Gardens in the fall of 2019 with Tristan.

Tristan.

Tristan has always had a love for nature, particularly plants. She has spent her whole life working various nature based jobs and growing home scale vegetable gardens. When she met Zach, who has much more of a background in commercial farming, starting this project seemed like an obvious next step for her. Growing healthy, nutritious food in a way that has a positive impact on the earth feels very meaningful and fulfilling to her, and she is looking forward to learning and growing with Waxing Moon Gardens!
