A Family Run Farm in Wisconsin Since 1860 -then 2017

In 1851 my Great-great-great grandfather immigrated from Ireland to Horicon, Wisconsin and started saving money for a farm. In 1860 the family moved to Brown County, Askeaton, Wisconsin and he started a farm on 80 acres of rented land and built a small log cabin (see the expanded cabin on the left photo).  That two room log farmhouse is gone, but the land remains. Roads and rails cut through the surrounding land the family dispersed throughout the country upon his passing in 1909.

108 Years Later – This was all unbeknownst to our family in 2011 when we decided to relocate to Wisconsin. After some research long after we started our farm, we learned we are no more than 20 miles from our ancestor’s farmland! While we have much more modern tools and have automated most everything we still rely on nature to feed the livestock like Grandpa did 163 years ago. We can only imagine the struggles in that we go through just the same, but with very different equipment.

 

 

What We Do

Why We Farm

We demanded local food and none was to be found. So, we rehabilitated a neglected farm only 5 miles from Appleton. That project evolved over the years to our dream of growing pure food for our neighbors and you.

Who Do We Serve

What started with a sign on the road for eggs turned into the most popular source in the tri-county area for beef, pork and chicken feed – as well as various vegetables like garlic, honey and pumpkins.

With much luck and faith by others and ourselves, we have shipped garlic and herbs to 48 states.

How We Farm

Just like in 1860, we feed off the pasture and woods. We dug every cedar post hole and used no chemicals to get a quality rotational grazing system. We have learned about responsible farming, stewardship of the land, husbandry of the animals and environmental quality.

The worst day on the farm is still the best day at work. We do this for you, and for us. It is restorative, healing and rewarding.

We will contract grow for you! Just lettuce know the quantity of produce you need (in season) and we will grow in our hoop house or plots customized for your needs.
