Farm Happenings at Boerson Farm
Butterfly
Two summers ago we took the boys camping up at Newport State Park in Door County. While we were away, Mat's mom Karen stayed at our house on pet patrol. She fed the dog, the cats, the fish, and a fat, striped caterpillar who was destined to become a monarch butterfly. Her lifelong1 read more »
The View from Mid-Season
As we reach the mid-point of the season we can see our wins, our losses and everything in between. We are two months into the CSA, and all things considered the farm is in good shape. Although we've had too much rain in some moments, we had enough in others. Although unexpected pe1 read more »
Meet Ricky
Curious about the animal aspect of the farm? If you've been out to pick up veggies recently you've probably noticed the beef herd in various locations eating grass and just hanging out. There are brood cows (aka moms), calves, yearlings, steers, and our current bull, Ricky Baker. 1 read more »
Travis and the Tomatoes
For years I've joked with the crew about having a farm band, making a music video, and giving ourselves stage names that are inspired by vegetables. No one every really takes me seriously, but hey, a girl can dream! When you spend a lot of time working outside in the heat surrounded by1 read more »
Let's Talk About Veg
Talking about vegetables is something I do nearly every day of the week. Between chatting with members at the pick up, sharing ideas with the crew while we're harvesting, and swapping recipes with customers at the market, there is no shortage of conversation when it comes to vegetables and co1 read more »
Real Organic
Your farmers breathed a sigh of relief not too long ago after we passed (with flying colors!) our annual inspection to maintain our USDA Organic Certification. We have been committed to organic practices on the farm since day one and have been certified for over a decade. Over the last1 read more »
Pollinator Friendly
We think nature's plan for native prairies is pretty inspiring, and it's been a goal of ours to bring on as much of it as we can at the farm. Thanks to a grant opportunity with the Xerxes Society, we were able to establish a small chunk of prairie on the slope just south of the pavilion, comp1 read more »
Resiliency
Well, it's definitely not a drought year! I know it's cliche to talk about the weather, but when you're in the business of growing food, the weather tends to affect pretty much everything we do. The planting schedule, the harvest schedule, and our ability to work in the field are all dictated by th1 read more »
New Faces at the Farm
Summer is now in full swing, and that means we need all hands on deck to reap what we've sown! This season we have the solid foundation of our loyal and hardy crew (thanks to Travis, Scott, Mat, Tracy, Henry, Ed, Karen, Ken, Jan and Shep!). In addition, we have 3 new crew members on board and1 read more »
About the farm
Boerson Farm is a 69 acre diversified family farm in rural Green Lake County, located 30 minutes southwest of Oshkosh. We are USDA Certified Organic and grow over 60 varieties of vegetables. We also rotationally graze our grass fed beef herd of Red Devon cows, maintain a flock of laying hens for pasture raised chicken eggs, and work together with a local bee-keeper to manage a modest apiary. We've been dedicated to growing for our local community since 2008 and are committed to providing the highest quality produce, beef, eggs and honey possible using ecologically friendly practices. We love what we do and we want to be your farmers!
