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. We have offered a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program since 1994. Inspired by the new CSA farming model, which had made its way to the U.S. only about 10 years earlier, we followed the example of some local CSA mentors and put our love for growing food, our interest in protecting the environment and our commitment to fostering sense of community to task.
We work to provide the freshest, highest quality fruits and vegetables, educate members and nonmembers on sustainable food and energy issues, and illustrate 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 article at 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.
