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

Welcoming Grace


This spring the farm has a new member! (of the equine persuasion) Grace joined us on the snowy first of April. In need of a new teammate for Zephyr, I headed to a nearby driving/draft horse auction and spotted this cutie. After I won the bid for her, the Amish man who had owned her found me and said that his family wanted to know where she would be going. So we exchanged addresses and he told me her story: she was orphaned the day after she was born and his family hand-raised her. She was a bit of a pet. They used her for riding and drove her a little on the buggy.

She's a 7 year old Belgian/Appaloosa cross, so she's got herself some spots, though they can't be seen unless you get up close. She's a bit smaller than Zephyr, about 3 inches shorter, but has plenty of spunk to make up for lack of size. She's settling in and working like a champ. Our plowing session last week was like a dream.
