Meet Sandy and Dave...
Like a number of folks from teachers to engineers drawn to what is often referred to as the local food movement, we were not born into farming families but in retrospect it seems as though we were born to farm. We left our full-time office careers in our 40’s to pursue this physically demanding yet rewarding profession. We became owners of our farm in 2004, buying it from the previous owners after they came to believe in and share our vision, our mission, for Pinehold. In 2021 we phased out our CSA program that we had offered since 1994. In 2021 we offered a Market Share, had an on farm stand and continued to sell to some of our restaurant accounts. We still sell to a few of our long time restaurant accounts, but we no longer offer a CSA or Market Share program, nor is our farm stand open. We are currently concentrating on taking care of ourselves, our neglected house and our land. In 2026 through a contract with US Fish and Wildlife, eight acres will be planted in beneficial insect habitat. We will also continue to plant the periphery of our farm with trees and shrubs.
We worked to provide the freshest, highest quality fruits and vegetables, educated members and nonmembers on sustainable food and energy issues, and illustrated the importance of community in our food system. We are motivated by this commitment and the opportunity to make the world just a little better.
As this 2012 interview for Farm To Table Wisconsin hopefully conveys, we feel all these efforts are better for the food we produce and the community within which we produce it.
