Our family has practiced this system of growing and selling fresh produce since 1994. Here’s how it works.
We raise more than 100 varieties of vegetables and herbs. Because we are certified organic we manage our soil and crops – without any chemical pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers – and with stringent and transparent organic practices.
We sell subscriptions of fresh produce that we raise in Rock County , Wisconsin . Subscribers can receive up to 4.5 months of fresh USDA Certified Organic herbs and vegetables. Each week they get an assortment in a recycled grocery bag.
With our family and farm interns, & part-time employees we plant, tend, harvest, wash, bag and deliver this produce fresh to drop-off sites near your home. For each season, subscribers pay a set fee. This holds many advantages for consumer and farmer alike, for the world in which we all live.
This relationship provides stability and consistency for the growers’ family. It rewards their year-round work and ecological practices with a consistent, direct market return for what they provide during the growing season.
