Investment Readiness Program 

Working with ROSE we are participating in the Investment Readiness Program. We are working to contribute to a resilient local food system through farming and community agriculture. ROSE Land Care Association holds title to the land and buildings protecting it for future generations and biodynamic agriculture. New Moon Community Homestead is operating to fulfill the ROSE mission on the farm.as a social enterprise. The Investment readiness fund is helping us to explore the needs of the farm for the future and to create a plan to succeed. We have identified three areas of focus for investment readiness: 1. scaling up the agricultural operations on the farm; 2. increasing on farm accommodations; and 3. doing more on-farm food processing i.e. pickling, baking, meat packaging.
