Farm Description

Ironwood is a small farm dedicated to growing a variety of fresh, high quality produce. All of our fruits and vegetables are grown using sustainable farming practices, without the use of synthetic fertilizers or pesticides.

We rent a farm on 80 beautiful acres in the rolling Hay River valley of Western Wisconsin. The garden is a little under 2 acres with the remainder of the farm consisting of pastures and woods. We are located in Prairie Farm, 75 miles northeast of the Twin Cities.

Beginning in June, produce will be available for purchase at the farm. We also plan to do a monthly delivery of produce to the Twin Cities area. If you would like to be on our email list to receive weekly updates of available produce, contact us at ironwood@chibardun.net

Introducing...WEEBLE!

The lives of our rooster, hens and chicks are endlessly amusing. The newest member of this clan is Weeble, the single surviving chick of our "wild" hen. Weeble's first few hours in this world were rather harsh being filled with an escapade in the jaws of Scout (the farm dog), abandonment by his mother, nearly freezing to death and then finding himself in a strange home with an eerie red light for warmth. After she warmed up, Weeble spent the next few hours tottering around her box - thus the name..."Weebles wobble but they don't fall down." You'll be happy to hear that Weeble's mother, after finding her alive and well in the hen house, decided to call her family after all.
