Farm Profile
The farm is located at
7985 Old Bainbridge Rd, Tallahassee, FL 32303
The farmers are John and
Debbie Moore and a short bio follows:
D
& J Produce was started in the Spring of 2003.
The goal of our company
is to provide fresh, locally grown produce at a
reasonable and fair price.
Both
Debbie and I grew up in a farming environment.
My father was a
part-time farmer and his father and relatives were all
full time farmers, growing various food crops, dairy pork and poultry.
John
I
have been living in Tallahassee all of my life
except for a 7-8 year period in which I was employed in the restaurant
and bar
business down in St. Petersburg, Florida. I
decided to get out of that business and move back to Tallahassee
because I
missed living in the country and having more than concrete, glass and
pavement
to look at.
City life
wasn’t for
this country boy.
I have always had
an interest in growing things, watch them flower and produce.
I guess I inherited
this interest from my father, grandfather, and
relatives.
Debbie
Debbie
grew up on a hog farm and her family grew produce as
well. Debbie
was born and raised in Moultrie, Georgia.
She has always felt at
home and comfortable “getting her hands
dirty”.
The sight of planting a
seed and watching it grow to maturity gives her a sense of unity with
our earth.
She loves to cook
fresh, homegrown products to feed her family and
friends.
(Believe me,
I’ve gained
20 lbs since I married her, and I love to eat!)
She’s very
“old school” in her cooking methods and loves to
make
homemade treats such as jams, jellies, cracklings, lard and does a lot
of home
canning and freezing of produce not consumed fresh.
I
guess you could say we are both like “two peas in
a pod”.
As I mentioned before,
we
enjoy farming even though it is a lot of hard work and sweat.
However, the end
results are both satisfying and tasty.
Like
our mother says, “People gotta eat”, and we
want to make sure that they are eating fresh, nutritious and flavorful
food.
Key Benefits
s Through
direct
marketing, CSAs give farmers the fairest return on their products.
s A
CSA helps to
create dialog between farmers and consumers and increases understanding
of how,
where and by whom food is grown.
s A
CSA creates a
sense of social responsibility and stewardship of local land.
s By
purchasing
shares in a CSA, members keep food dollars in the local community and
maintain
local food production.
What’s
in a share?
A share includes a weekly selection of fresh,
locally grown, produce.

Our Promise
BBCSA will only supply what is produced locally on the
farm(s) involved
Vegetable
Varieties
Some
fresh
market
growers like to limit production to the crops that grow best for them.
However,
the CSA grower focuses on a wide range of vegetables so that
subscribers receive
an interesting variety of vegetables throughout the season. Depending
on the
length of the subscription period, this may include everything from
asparagus
and rhubarb in the early spring to parsnips and kale in the late fall.
A share in our harvest is
seasonal, so the
size
and composition of the boxes change as the season progresses
