copper moose farm

What copper moose farm does

Copper Moose Farm is a small-scale vegetable and cut-flower farm operating in Park City, Utah since 2007 on 3 acres of growable land at 7,000 ft elevation, making it one of the highest-elevation commercial organic farms in the region. The farm employs six named staff members supplemented by volunteers and applies biodynamic and organic practices including crop rotation, microbial inoculants, OMRI-approved soil amendments, and a custom in-house potting mix (utelite, peat moss, and farm-fresh compost). Greenhouse infrastructure enables year-round production of crops not typically viable at high altitude, including heirloom tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, and a winter leaf crop portfolio (salad mix, arugula, micro greens, scallions, bok choi, head lettuce, herbs), and the farm continues to expand on-site solar generation.

The product surface centers on freshly harvested vegetables and hand-arranged cut flowers (sunflowers, snapdragons, zinnias, dahlias, peonies, and others) distributed via a seasonal farm stand (May through early October, Thursdays and Saturdays), a multi-share CSA subscription program (vegetable, flower, egg, cheese, kombucha, and bread shares running 12-18 weeks), and a winter online store keyed to greenhouse production. Auxiliary revenue comes from farm stand venue rentals ($1,000 for up to 20 guests; $1,500 for up to 30) and premium farm-to-table dinner experiences for 30 guests with multi-course menus, signature cocktails, and live music.

The business model is direct-to-consumer and community-supported, combining a single physical retail location, pre-paid seasonal CSA subscriptions (purchased in March prior to the growing season), event rentals, and curated experiences. The farm functions as a local marketplace hub, reselling artisan goods from 10+ named regional partners including Beehive Cheese, Old Home Place, Park City Bake Shop, Han's Kombucha, Mamachari, Telegraph Bee Co., Slide Ridge, Auntie Em's Bakery, Olive & Oak Apothecary, Park City Creamery, and Milk Honey Yogurt. Gleaning partnerships with Park City Community Gardens and EATS route surplus produce to community food security programs. Copper Moose Farm is privately held, owner-operated, with no disclosed institutional investment, no parent company, and no public revenue disclosure.
