2023 NEWS: A BIG THANKS TO OUR WISCONSIN MAGAZINE FOR A TWO PAGE SPREAD IN THE APRIL/MAY EDITION!!!

We are looking forward to offering new crossbred garlics in 2023.

Thanks for all your interest in healthy foods and growing your own foods.

THE 2023 CROP IS UP AND GROWING WELL.

2023 TOUR INFO:

Most people want to pick or dig up food crops while they are here and they like to see plants growing and our drip irrigation at work. There is very little to see in spring or early summer. Please use the Contact button to start a discussion on scheduling a visit that will work for both of us.

Thanks for your support!!

USA DELIVERIES ONLY.

TOURS WELCOME IN SEASON, PLEASE CHECK OUR

SCHEDULE FOR AVAILABILITY IN ADVANCE.

A garlic for every USDA Zone from 3-10 !

See descriptions for details.

We will continue our ongoing testing of garlics, especially Creole type garlic as well as others. In 2023 we hope to have many more new garlics and new crossbreeds.

We are sad to say that we recently heard that Dr. Buddenhagen passed away in July (2022). He bred many food plants including garlic, creating new crossbreeds.

As a tribute to his hard work in that process, we will continue to

offer many of his garlics here so that he can be remembered.

We have offered for purchase for 2022 new results from crossbreeding programs that use true seed (little black specks similar to onion seed) from fertile garlic flowers. All tested here in the cold. All non-GMO, no pesticides, no hormone treatments and all

organically grown. More to come in 2023!!

FOR 2023 THERE IS A WAITING LIST FOR PICKING FRESH PRODUCE. FIRST COME FIRST SERVE.

There is a waiting list for dry cured Wisconsin organically grown peanuts for 2023.

Dried Teamaker Hops (USDA-ARS release, low acid, highly aromatic) summer preorders available by special arrangement.

We grow what we sell and do not resell crops grown by others. Nor do we buy at the produce auction and tell others we grew it.

Blueberries, Strawberries, Raspberries, Black Currants, Grapes: pick your own fresh with a gallon pail or larger.

Also prepicked fresh for you by arrangement.

For 2023: food boxes of long-keeping foods like storage onions, garlic, potatoes, winter squash and dry beans for local pickup.

A few fresh fruits and vegetables as well. Inquiries welcome!

For 2023: in addition, we will be offering sampler packs of rare and ancient dry bean varieties that actually taste good and you can't get in the grocery store, as well as

organically grown potatoes in limited quantities.

SOCIAL DISTANCING REQUIRED.

HAND WASHING STATION AVAILABLE.
