We are advocates for collaborative, regenerative, rural ecology in Central Wisconsin.

Wisconsin Farmers Union
The effects of climate change are becoming clear across rural America. Food security, a healthy landscape, climate mitigation, and a prosperous rural America can only be attained through a strong family farm system of agriculture. Get involved with Wisconsin Farmers Union.

Grassworks
For nearly thirty years, managed grazing has been a foundation of the sustainable agriculture movement in the upper Midwest and we are proud of the role that GrassWorks has played in its development. We provide leadership, education and resources for grass-based farmers and regional organizations that support graziers.

Carbon storage isn’t soil’s only superpower; the ways that soil stands to positively impact the lives of billions worldwide are tangible and immediate: replenished water cycles, restored fertility, and regenerated ecosystems.
