We moved here SW of McFarland twenty years ago and began a garden and an orchard. The land was fertile. Thistles from the horse pasture were chest high. Our goal was to produce an outstanding variety of vegetables and cider. Our garden has always been genuinely organic. Our orchard management strategy has changed and developed, from integrated pest management (IPM) to organic methods which eliminate toxic inputs. Organic management results in vegetables, apples, and cider free from poisons and significantly more nutritious. We hope to be a vital contributor of good food and ideas to MACSAC.

We also pledge to treat you with love, respect, and care: members and visitors are always welcome at the farm. We are here because of you, and we value your presence here.

Lisa & Jeff Bartig
277 Wilderness Way, Brooklyn, WI 53521
(608) 455-1931
csa@livingsoilfarm.com
www.livingsoilfarm.com

Living Soil Community Farm is a small family-run farm located in the Town of Oregon in southern Dane County. It is nestled in a valley of sandy loam soil left by a receding glacial lake. Our vegetables and fruits are grown using natural and sustainable practices. We believe strongly that caring for the soil and the environment grows stronger and better tasting vegetables. Natural soil amendments like compost and rock powders are used to feed the life in our soil, which in turn feeds and protects our plants. Our farm has grown out of our love of gardening. We enjoy growing a large selection of heirloom and modern varieties, especially tomatoes and peppers. The varieties are selected based on flavor and in some cases their unique appearance. Many can't be found in a typical grocery store, since they don't meet modern requirements for harvesting before ripe, storage, and traveling half way around the Earth. A benefit of buying local, small farm produce is that you get to experience the wonderful flavors of vegetables harvested when ripe and carefully delivered often on the day they were harvested.

Zephyr Group Garden Shares full for 2009 season!

2625 Oaklawn Road, Stoughton, WI 53589
(608) 873-0637
jgreenler@zephyrfarm.com

Features: season extension, worker share

With three acres in cultivation and about a dozen households in Stoughton and Madison, the members of Zephyr Group Garden (ZIGG) have banded together to share both the work and the bounty of the crops. We use a worker cooperative model in which all members collaborate as growers while the farm maintains traditional crop production. We have a strong focus on growing vegetables for preservation, although we can't resist a few delicious fresh eating items as well. Crops are harvested and distributed as they ripen; there are no weekly deliveries to drop-off sites.
