About Wisconsin Growers Co-op:
Founded in 2006 to help 20 families maintain ownership of their farms. Its members are dedicated to the idea that if farmers take good care of the soil, the soil will pay back with high-quality produce. This mindset has proven effective; WI Growers often brings us produce all year long, from greenhouse radishes at the first sight of spring clear around the calendar to over-wintered parsnips. The key to the longevity of their growing season is labor-intensive, fossil-fuel-free farming methods. On nearly 40 acres of the co-op’s land, farmers plant, tend and harvest crops exclusively using horses, horse machinery and hand tools.

About Featherstone Farm
Beginning in May with leaf lettuce, through a summer’s harvest of zucchini and cherry tomatoes, into winter squash and carrots in the winter, there’s hardly a month that Featherstone isn’t represented in the co-op’s Produce department. The farm is certified organic and is dedicated to creating a truly sustainable agriculture system. That includes geothermal heating and cooling for the packing shed, as well as a solar array that generates about 60% of the farm’s energy. Featherstone also operates a large community-supported agriculture program.
