About the Farm

Field work & field views

Good Earth Farm is a small family farm situated in a central Wisconsin location between the Fox Valley, Madison, and Milwaukee.

We are surrounded with the natural beauty of rolling hills, protected wetlands, woodland habitat, and a popular migration stop - The Horicon Marsh.

We grow a large variety of vegetables and herbs on the farm. Our fruit production is expanding as we add more fruit trees, bushes, and vines every year. We also have a small apiary in hopes that the bees will pollinate our crops and offer us their extra honey.

CSA members picking pumpkins

We are a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farm. We choose to market our produce through CSA for a reason – direct connection with the people who purchase what we grow. Our members have opportunities to visit the farm, work on the farm, talk with us, and see the operation. We feel strongly that knowing where food comes from and knowing your farmer are essential to a successfully functioning food system.

Our Responsible Growing Methods

We grow using methods that are safe for our family and our community. That extends well beyond us as human beings and engulfs our entire environment. Since we first started farming we’ve used only sustainable, natural, and chemical-free methods. We would not grow produce any other way. Just like we do not want to pass on undue financial costs to our customers, we will not pass on undue health risks through the use of synthetic pesticides or herbicides.
