Moon Mountain Farms

After stopping at Fransisco’s Fruit Stand (
), and Carl’s Jr. (
) I was heading on home as my adventure along the 126 was nearly complete.
I decided to make one more stop, and I pulled into this place. I’d driven past this place countless times. They’ve got several places down the 126, and I did pull into two of them thinking of buying a plant for my patio. «Third time’s the charm» I thought to myself as I pulled into the lot with a semi trailer advertising for the place. I saw other cars and realized I was in the right lot.
I got out of my car and started meandering around, looking at the multitudes of potted plants, all organized by type. They had pots of every size, from small desk-​pot sized to giant tree-​sized pots. Before too long somebody came out to greet me and help me out. I explained my needs; I needed something that was kinda cool looking, and nigh-​indesctructable. I have a tendency to forget that plants need watering and care and stuff. I excitedly buy plants, and then put the plants on my patio and then tend to wonder why I have pots with sticks several months later.
Benjamin furrowed his brow and lead me over to an aisle of plants. He began pointing out the ones that were more difficult to kill. We hadn’t gotten very far down the row before a bush caught my eye. It was a greenish thing with some deep red leaves. It certainly fulfilled the «looking kinda cool» requirement. Benjamin said it was fairly hardy, and drought resistant. That went along way for requirement #2. I decided to get it. I expected it to be a fairly expensive purchase, but was very relieved when Benjamin said it was only twenty bucks.
He picked up the plant and brought it over to the trailer that served as their office. He punched my credit card info into the computer, and rang me up. He then put the plant in a great big bag that prevented the dirt from getting all over the trunk of my car. He offered to bag the top as well, to prevent leaves from getting all over the trunk of my car, but I declined. I was more concerned with dirt, leaves I could pick up easily enough and toss out. (Which happened when I got home.) He even carried it over to my car and loaded it into my trunk. Nice job Benjamin.
I drove home and planted the bush, and marveled at the price. A paltry twenty bucks for this cool lookin bush that was nearly up to my chest. If at some point I discover one of my pots has a bunch of sticks in it, I’ll certainly head back here for something else.

Please disregard my previous review calling Moon Mountain Tree farm a bit shady. They have contacted me and after a brief discussion with Justin I realized Ithe whole price change was more a timing issue than them gaming me. As I said in the previous review the staff was friendly and now that I have been completely satisfied by their professionalism I would like to eat my previous review…

These guys occupy several lots on the 126, I’ve also seen their address listed as: 3846 East Telegraph Road. Their main store front is at the intersection of the 126 and the road into Piru.
Heard of Moon Mountain via word of mouth, and showed up looking for a lime tree. No luck they said, they didn’t have any. They did walk us through their property and showed us a whole host of other wonderful looking plants and I’ll be returning when I landscape my yard. Friendly service, great looking plants, just no limes!
