USA – HOW BLUE MOON ACRES FARM BECAME A FIELD-GROWN RICE PIONEER
01/11/2016 – Growing rice in New Jersey sounds, on the face of it, impossible. Even more so when the rice is certified organic and comes in five varieties that pretty much cover the entire spectrum that we cook with, including white, brown, and black; short, medium, and long grain; and specialized for risotto and sushi. But that is exactly what Jim and Kathy Lyons have accomplished at Blue Moon Acres Farm in Pennington.



The first rice crop was harvested in 2014; this fall, Jim Lyons says he just finished harvesting 12,000 pounds from the three acres he planted. One-pound bags of Blue Moon Acres rice are sold at the farm’s own markets in Pennington and Buckingham, Bucks County, at their stand in the Stockton Market, and online.



Blue Moon Acres first gained notice as a pioneer in the production of microgreens starting back in 1993, soon after the Lyonses had purchased their first farm, in Buckingham. The tiny gourmet greens quickly became the darling of top-tier chefs in New York City and elsewhere. (Even decades later, when the rice was introduced, the first wholesale customer was the renowned Gramercy Tavern.) These days, local customers can find the microgreens not only at the three farm markets, but also at all McCaffrey’s markets, the Whole Earth Center, and Lucy’s Kitchen & Market.



Blue Moon Acres rice is field-grown, not in paddies flooded with water. When asked what possessed him to think he could grow premium rice in central New Jersey, Jim Lyons starts at the very beginning of his personal and professional path. “There are a couple of different ways of looking at this. I had an interest in agriculture after I graduated from college,” he says.
