Driftless Organics - Soldiers Grove, WI.

17.2 Miles to Market

Driftless Organics came into being thirteen years ago under the name Rainbow Potatoes. It was started by Josh and Noah Engel, ages eleven and nine respectively, and as the name suggests they grew a colorful spectrum of potatoes, more than twenty varieties in all. What began as a quarter acre farm has now expanded to twenty-five acres of ridge and valley fields in beautiful Star Valley, Wisconsin. In 2004, Mike Lind joined Josh and Noah and with him he brought not only a similar love for growing great vegetables, but also a desire to add grass fed cattle to the operation. Though potatoes are still their largest crop, they now market raspberries, asparagus, squash, tomatoes, peppers, onions, kale, garlic, collards, strawberries, broccoli and much more.

Scenic Valley Farms - Readstown, WI.

12.8 Miles to Market

Scenic Valley is an organic farm that produces fruit and vegetables in high tunnels, a hybrid of open field and greenhouse production. On 30 acres of ridge top land overlooking the broad Kickapoo River Valley, the farm produces organically certified blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, tomatoes, peppers, and melons. High tunnels provide nearly all the protection of a greenhouse but since the plants are grown directly in the soil, the fruits and vegetables maintain that unique field grown flavor. Some of the high tunnels on the farm use clean, renewable solar thermal energy to extend the growing season and all of them employ climate control systems to help ensure high quality produce.
The farm was founded by Erik Gundacker in 2007 as a way to combine a lifelong passion for horticulture with his new found interest in high tunnel agriculture. It has been growing slowly ever since and hopes to continue providing fresh, organic produce to the region in the years ahead.
The farm is also a demonstration farm for our SHARE farm performing research and development on different varieties of fruits and vegetables in a variety of high tunnel configurations. A SHARE farm will be located on the land owned by Scenic Valley Farm.

Turkey Ridge Orchard - Gays Mills, WI.

24.3 Miles to Market

Sprawling out on 290 acres in the middle of Wisconsin’s Crawford County, Turkey Ridge Organic Orchard is the largest organic apple orchard in the Midwest. Since its first apple trees were planted in 1988, the orchard has undergone a series of stellar and near-heartbreaking events including its evolution from bustling enterprise to family farm to nearly abandoned parcel of land slated for redevelopment. Its reborn form today is that of a cooperative. On December 5th, 2003, the Midwest Organic Fruit Growers Cooperative (MOFGC) was formed to manage and grow Turkey Ridge Organic Orchard. Aided by both a menagerie of animals (including flocks of geese and sheep, a passel of pigs, and a collection of chickens) and a solid set of by-laws, the members of the Co-op are ready to take on the task of taming their 7,800 fruit trees.

Jake and Kim Jakubowski have been growing organic vegetables since 2002, certified in 2008 by MOSA."We believe strongly in using sustainable organic farming practices to grow high quality fresh vegetables. Our naturally fertile valley soil is cared for with compost, cover crops, crop rotation, and micronutrients creating nutrient rich, flavorful food. We feed the soil, and Healthy soil grows healthy plants that are better at resisting diseases, and pests. 75% of the farm is woodland and native plants that create habitat for beneficial insects, birds, and other wildlife. Our small family farm is run by us, and our 2 young children. Although our farm isn’t large we take great pride in the quality we are able to achieve with our added care! We owe our success to hard work, years of research, love of the land, and large amounts of coffee! With young children we understand the importance of knowing where, and how your food is grown! Eating local and organic food is our health assurance, and insures a future for small farmers."
