Farmstead Ferments and New Moon NaturalsFarmstead Ferments and New Moon Naturals

Photo by Paula Com

Sitting less than 100 yards from gardens and a variety of fruit trees on a farm in Charlottesville, I met with Dawn Story,

founder of New Moon Naturals and Farmstead Ferments. Story tells me that she grew up in the Virginia Piedmont, and she was raised by a family who appreciated nature and a healthy diet.

“I’ve always been drawn to plants, and I started to learn about their properties and health benefits from a young age,” explains Story.

In 1998, as a trained herbalist, Story founded New Moon Naturals, which sells herbal medicines, teas and elixirs. She sources as much locally as possible, and she collaborates with local partners such as Sharondale Farm, located 12 miles outside of Charlottesville. Sharondale Farm provides mushrooms that Story blends with herbs and spices to create Reishi Mushroom Tea.

While managing New Moon Naturals and conducting herbal health consultations, Story decided that overall diet should have more of an emphasis in her efforts, so she began to focus on the fermentation of foods.

What started as a small venture at farmers’ markets, quickly blossomed into Farmstead Ferments, which took off in 2010. Now, Story

provides customers with live and raw, naturally-fermented foods and beverages such as sauerkraut, kimchi, pickled vegetables, water kefir sodas and kombucha cultures, which are created with sustainably-grown, fresh ingredients from local farms.

“Fermented foods are an ancient form of preservation, and they are probiotic and loaded with vitamins and enzymes, which help with your digestion and immunity,” says Story.

Story sources her ingredients from farmers who use techniques such as no or low spray, crop rotation, soil building and other regenerative agricultural practices. “From Madison to Richmond, we work with farms,” explains Story. “Sourcing our ingredients as close to home as possible preserves small family farms, contributes to our region’s food security, reduces our dependence on fossil fuels and creates long-lasting and symbiotic relationships with folks we honor and trust.”

Both New Moon Naturals and Farmstead Ferments products are available at a variety of locations such as select Whole Foods stores, farmers’ markets and local grocery stores. They are also available through special orders.

Harrison Keevil and his wife, Jennifer, opened Brookville in the summer of 2010 with a goal to provide patrons

with as many local ingredients as possible. Their menu proudly states, “The most locally sourced restaurant in Charlottesville, Va. All plates 90-99% sourced within 100 miles.”

As I sit with them at a charming wooden table adorned with mason jars, their 15-month-old daughter scampers around us giggling and pointing towards the pleasantly tall windows that overlook historic Main Street.

Keevil is the executive chef while Jennifer is the front of the house manager. “Our team really believes in what we’re doing,” said Keevil, proudly. The couple’s ultimate goal is for Brookville to become the most locally sourced restaurant in all of Virginia.

Their menu changes almost daily, and the recipes are inspired by what is new and fresh at the market. Jennifer explains, “In the summer, we tend to have a lot of vegetables; and in the winter, dishes can be more meat-centric.”

One of the summer favorites for customers is a “shortstack” of squash pancakes covered in maple syrup. “We take inspiration from Italy, France, Northern California—basically whatever I

want to cook and tastes good,” said Keevil. With every topic I address, Keevil’s deep

respect for farms and his desire to give back to the community is apparent. “Farmers do the hard work, and it’s my responsibility to not mess it up. It’s up to me to make their hard work shine through [the food].” When they’re unable to source locally, for such things as salt, the couple purchases the ingredients from small local purveyors in town, so the money still goes back into the community.

Keevil has recently teamed up with Jason Alley, co-owner and executive chef of Comfort and Pasture restaurants, to do experimental gardening on a 5,000 square foot plot of land on a farm in Manakin-Sabot, located between Richmond and Charlottesville.

Keevil still plans to source from his suppliers. He sees this project as a way to experiment with local produce such as old Virginia heritage seeds. “We’ll plant some things to see what works, and see what doesn’t work,” said Jennifer.

From regional markets and farms to experimental gardens, Brookville is strong and true in their efforts to provide fresh, quality local food to the Charlottesville community.

Buy Fresh Buy Local: Buy Fresh Buy Local is a voluntary program where local food producers are able to market their business. While we are not able to audit each business, our understanding is that each BFBL partner is doing the most to offer consumers fresh, locally-grown products. As a consumer, remember to always ask if it’s local!
