Farm Share Week 2

Hot and sunny on the farm this weekend. Maurice is out tilling up a field for Gail to seed sweet corn. He has the easy job...air conditioned tractor cab. Gail gets to walk 90 times up and down the field pushing a one row seeder to get that sweet corn in. Each row is precisely 36" apart. Hopefully, that sweet corn will be seeing you in 90 days.

DragSmith Farms is a 104-acre Certified Organic Produce Farm located just north of Barron, WI along the pristine Yellow River. About 34 years ago Maurice and Gail bought the farm that has been in Gail's family 120 years. DragSmith comes from a blending of Gail's maiden name, Dragseth, and our shared last name, Smith. We did this to signify the new and old and to create a bit of mystery.
We grow approximately 30 acres of produce that we market along with honey maple syrup and other products from neighboring farms. We sell to some of the finest restaurants and food co-ops in Minnesota and Wisconsin. As a certified organic grower, we utilize all of the regulations required for organic certification and in fact go the extra mile to preserve our farm and our environment.
