About Harvest Moon Farm Book Cellar Texas, United States
Harvest Moon Farm Book Cellar is a family owned and operated on-line bookstore. We are building a small non-conventional farm in the Texas Hill Country.

We love the thrill of the hunt and the satisfaction of placing one person's unwanted book in the hands of someone who needs it (it also helps pay for the books we get to keep for ourselves).
