Hi, I’m
Roger Browne. My friends and family and I operate Rising Sun Farm located in Wisconsin near the border with Minnesota.
We have been in the business of unconventionally growing produce since 1976.
Our commitment
is to feeding our customers and ourselves the most nutritious and flavorful food
we know how to grow. We do this by feeding the soil a balanced diet of mineral nutrients,
cover crops, plant waste and the droppings from our own chickens and turkeys.
Our 5-year
rotations consists of 3 years of vegetables and 2 years of soil building cover crops.
Most of our crops are mulched to protect against erosion and add additional organic
matter. We top it all off with a generous supply of careful attention.
We follow
the practices required by the USDA organic law. No prohibited materials are ever
applied to our soils or crops.
We produce
a wide variety of vegetables which are direct marketed to food co-ops, grocery stores,
and restaurants within 25 miles of the farm. Our eggs, chickens and turkeys and
maple syrup are available at our self-service farm store. We also have pick-your-own
strawberries for three weeks starting about mid-June. Visitors and 1st
time customers are asked to call ahead to arrange a visit. (715-425-6639)
