Nowadays the Campbell Family is focusing on agriculture and has started a business providing farm-fresh vegetables through the I-90 corridor. Vegetables are an important part of everyone’s diet, providing valuable nutrients, vitamins and roughage.
Moon River Ranch offers its produce through the CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) Share program, where patrons pay for their vegetables up front and the receive weekly deliveries for 18-20 weeks. This makes the purchase inflation free, locking in the price regardless of what happens throughout the summer.
