Ashland, WI
“We have been farming in the Ashland area for three years, in a way that speaks to our traditional roots, and on completely raw land. Everything we do is currently by hand. We farm to bring good food to all types of people, at an affordable price.”
– Rusty Defoe and Daisy Perez-Defoe, owners
The Project
Grant funds were used to purchase six mobile chicken coops, allowing the farm to expand and meet contracts for the chickens and turkeys it is currently offering. The farm also purchased a supply shed to place near poultry areas.
Environmental Impact
Although they began their farm on undeveloped land, they have managed to regenerate the soil by carefully managing the rotation of their animals and reseeding pastures.
