Farm Happenings at Boerson Farm
Pollinate
Bees and many other flying insects are abounding at the farm. Some are friends and some are foes, but the bees are always on our side. We've made it our mission to continually plant a mix of annuals and perennials that will attract, feed and otherwise encourage the good bugs to call the1 read more »
Sweet as Candy
Kids and carrots go together well. A recent visit to the farm by newly appointed Big Sister Elliot Avery reminded me just how cool it is when kids interact with vegetables. She knew the names of all the veggies in her CSA share, and she let me know that the carrots were her special favorite.&1 read more »
In Your Share

In it for Good
To borrow a phrase from my favorite coffee roaster (Peace Coffee!), this farm crew is in it for good. This past week our Friday crew arrived on the shirt tails of the first frost of the season, and it was abruptly quite chilly. No one complained though. We put on extra layers and1 read more »
Landing Approach
As we approach the end of the CSA season, it feels a bit like setting up for a landing. Birds, like these sandhill cranes, know just what to do. Pilots have their checklists and go through a series of checks before touching down. Calculations are made, distances are verified and g1 read more »
Into the Woods
If farming is anything, it is the art of tending many irons in the proverbial fire of summer...some days we are better at not getting burned than others, but we know everything happens in its own time. One major project whose time came in 2021 is the farm's 5 acre woodlot on the southern edge1 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!
