We grow over 40 different fruits and vegetables during the season, and in some cases have dozens of varieties of some items. While we take advantage of the plant vigor and production quality of particular hybrid vegetable varieties, we also seek to preserve the genetic diversity and often exquisite flavor of certain heirloom varieties. For example, we grow a number of items that have been boarded onto the Slow Food Ark of Taste, a program to prevent the extinction of delicious foods and promote them in the marketplace. In addition, we are a participating member in the Kenosha Potato Project to help preserve more unusual potato varieties.
With the addition of a permanent greenhouse in Fall 2009 and a movable one in Fall 2011, we are working to extend the harvest season to year-round.
A little farm tour and philosophy can be seen on an episode of Wisconsin Foodie, an "independent television series dedicated to discovering the stories behind the food we eat."
