About Us

Full Moon Farm Collective’s mission is to grow and donate organically grown food for community members who lack access, create beautiful healing spaces, and serve as a learning organization dedicated to teaching life skills.

While the farm has a long history with veggie production, we are offering new programs within our nonprofit related to mental health, arts, and outdoor learning events. 2025 is our first year hosting monthly workshops to the public. To date, we have held 8 workshops on the farm for donation or free to the public. You can view listed workshops at these links:

We have grown

$100,000

in valuable vegetables and fruits for our community as a for profit farm in one season. This is our potential as a nonprofit farm in donation produce to partner food pantries.

In 2024, we delivered 6,600 pounds of produce to the Hunger and Health Coalition and 2,300 pounds to the Local Food as Medicine box program by The High Country Food Hub.

In 2022, we delivered 3,300 pounds of produce to the Hunger and Health Coalition and 1,000 pounds to Local Food as Medicine.

These two organizations serve the following counties in North Carolina Watauga, Avery, Ashe, Alleghany, Mitchell, Wilkes, Yancey and in Tennessee, Johnson county.

Ecotherapy & Wellness

In 2025 we launched our Ecotherapy Workshop Series facilitated by Kristin Wilson, LCSW.

Six in person workshops have been held on the farm to bring participants a greater connection to themselves, their community, and nature. Over 30 people have joined in these experiences to learn nature-based wellness techniques to reduce anxiety, lift depression, change the relationship to stress, and generally improve mental health concerns.

Here are two reviews after the Ecotherapy workshops:

“I can’t put into words how empowering it was to be surrounded by a small yet mighty group that was patient, supportive, and dared me to dig deep. For me, mind body connections have always been hard and I have a long way to go, but feeling so light and relaxed afterwards was bodily proof that some magic happened!”

“The [workshop] rhythm struck a beautiful balance between structure and organic unfolding, allowing space for curiosity, insight, and deep personal and metaphorical connection. I left feeling more connected to the land, the water, and to each person in the circle. I only wished I could have stayed longer in that container of care. Thank you for holding such a nourishing space.”
