Farm Happenings at Boerson Farm
Sweet
It's the moment that many mouths have been waiting for...the arrival of the sweet corn! This marks season 3 of growing this a-maizing crop, and so far, this looks like it could be our best one yet! We shoot for a late planting that yields at the end of August and goes strong (we hope!)1 read more »
Refresh
This past week was a hot one on the farm, but our family managed to escape the heat for a few days in Newport State Park in Door County, where the wildlife outnumbers the humans. There is definitely a micro climate that surrounds the peninsula, and we were fortunate enough to experience some1 read more »
Peak Harvest
Peak harvest is upon us! We've completed the garlic harvest, are making our way through the onions, just harvested the crop of spaghetti squash, and will be starting on sweet corn within the next week. (By the way, if you're wondering why it's taking so long for the sweet corn, we plant1 read more »
A few of my favorite things...
As your farmer, one of my favorite parts of the job is arranging and photographing the food.

He truly loves snacking on hot d1 read more »
Listen to Your Elders
What can the flowers tell us about life? These stately elderflowers offer up wisdom every day when I pass by their hedgerow at the edge of the growing space...and I've learned enough to know that I should listen to my elders! It's good to question, but first we must listen.

Can you dig it?
Whether we're talking carrots, beets, scallions or any of the other crops we bunch and wash, we really dig growing this food. The colors, textures and flavors shine when the food is fresh and and the crops diverse, and this is something that the whole crew can get behind.

Dog Days
What do you get when you combine long, hot summer days with a new puppy? The dog days of summer!
That's about where we're at... Watering everyday to keep the crops growing while getting distracted by a snuggly, floppy new farm dog named Bear. Our old girl Bella is taking her time warmin1 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!
