We will continue our ongoing testing of garlics, especially Creole type garlic as well as others. In 2025 and 2026 we hope to have many more new garlics and new crossbreeds.

We are sad to say that we heard that Dr. Ivan Buddenhagen had 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 2012 and going forward, 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.

FOR 2024 THERE IS A WAITING LIST FOR EVERYTHING INCLUDING PICKING FRESH PRODUCE. FIRST COME FIRST SERVE.

Dry cured Wisconsin organically grown peanuts will be discontinued.

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

HAND WASHING STATION AVAILABLE.

PICKING APPOINTMENTS REQUIRED TO

ACHIEVE THE BEST RESULTS!!

We appreciate all our customers!!
