Meet Kat and Milo
You know that feeling when you meet someone and already they feel like family? Moonfarm began in 2019 when Kat met Milo, who had recently moved to LA from Hamburg, Germany, with her young son and husband. Kat’s son was the same age and she was pregnant with her daughter at the time. The two bonded over a love of casual hang times with good food and funny friends, and thrifting cool clothes for themselves and their kids. It wasn’t long before most afternoons were spent with the boys running in the garden, a newborn baby snoozing on the floor, Milo pregnant again and she and Kat making patterns and sewing samples for what would eventually become their first small collection.

A Collective is Born
Since the first Moonfarm seed was planted, the idea has grown from a vintage-inspired kids clothing line to a project-based, kid-centered Collective. Our shared commitment to raising our kids in a playful, honest, warm and open environment is what connects us. The desire to collaborate with like-minded creatives and make beautiful and useful things we can all feel proud of is what drives Moonfarm forward. If you are an artist or maker and have an idea for a project that would fit with Moonfarm’s creative vision, please contact us!
Supporting Each Other
A portion of profits from each project will be donated to an organization that aligns with the theme or idea represented. As middle class, white mothers we want to acknowledge the privilege we have and the responsibility we feel to give back to our communities and others in need.
Kat’s difficult struggle with Postpartum Depression during the making of this collection and her previous miscarriage inspired the selection of this organization as the recipient for this first project. “It is the vision of Postpartum Support International that every woman and family worldwide will have access to information, social support, and informed professional care to deal with mental health issues related to childbearing. When the mental health of the mother is compromised, it affects the entire family.” These topics are not often discussed and therefore their prevalence in our communities is misunderstood. Your purchase and contribution is deeply appreciated.
