Tomatillos are tomatoes’ more wild green cousin. Their plant resembles a tomato plant with sprawling vines that need to be trellised, but tomatillos remain green when ripe, sometimes with a yellow blush or a little purple stain on their flesh. The fruits grow in a loose papery skin similar to that of Chinese lanterns or...
Cabbage is one of the first real staple veggies to make it into the CSA and market. Crunchy, super healthy, and easy to cook with or eat raw, we love cabbage at our farm. We grow it throughout spring, summer, and fall. Napa cabbage is the first to appear at market in May and June,...
When green bean season comes around in summer, it comes with a bang! We pick SO MANY beans! That’s a good thing because beans are well-loved by the good majority of people, whether in the popular and really delicious canning project of dilly beans, as a fabulous side dish, or eaten raw as a healthy...
Everyone loves snap peas. They are delicious and simple for fresh snacking, great in cooked dishes and dishes, and universally easy to prepare. People tend to associate snap peas with spring, but for us in Northern Wisconsin, they are more of a summer crop and we do our best to have them for a longer...

Similar to a radish in texture and shape, turnips are much sweeter and...
Radishes are an incredibly versatile vegetable that grows and stores throughout the year, especially in the seasons when offerings are limited here in Northern Wisconsin. Salad radishes are the first roots of spring and daikon and winter storage radishes last well into winter (much like carrots, potatoes and beets). CSA members can expect to receive...
Microgreens and pea shoots are delicious baby greens we grow in trays in the greenhouse on a rich compost. They are some of the first items we can grow in spring alongside our transplants even before our hoophouse soil is warm enough. They are a big part of our spring shares and are often also...
Lettuce of all types is one of the signature crops for our farm, frequently included in our CSA boxes, brought with us to market, and sold to our grocery and restaurant partners. We grow lettuce April through December and work hard to have a consistent supply even through the heat of summer. CSA members can...
