On the Farm |
FARM DAYS and Special Local Events Listing Coming Soon! Treasured Haven Farm's SHOW SCHEDULE for CSA and CRAFTS Please, Call Ahead to Schedule Your Visit. Many days, because we are a working farm with large machinery operating for the hay crops, it is not appropriate for visitors or tours. Below are some pics of the farm and farmers over the years! |
| A Kubota Tractor with a small tiller now makes quick work of preparing perfect seedbeds. |
| A 1948 Allis Chalmers G joins the roster on our farm team! This tractor, and two others just like it, are being restored by our son Zach and will be used for cultivating the rows of many veggies. |

The Next Generation of Farmers Growing Up on the Farm |
| Our son, Zach, always the farmer from the day he was born! He grew up pedaling the toy tractors, and now drives and repairs the real ones! When he took his potatoes and crops to the county fair, no boy could be prouder of what he grew. Zach is now 21 years old and is the chief farm mechanic and head field manager for the CSA! |
| Our son, Isaac, aka Ike! He was born a farmer as well, and has always loved the animals and tractors. He started helping build the trails when only three years old and wanted to grow up to run just like his older siblings. Ike is now 17 and wants to farm as well. As the CSA grows he is taking more responsibility for care of the acres that are not in vegetables, such as the hay fields, and any small grains and corn we grow. |
| The farm in 1992. Many things have changed since then, with time and age taking its toll on many of the buildings, and a lightning strike causing the old farmhouse to burn, but you can see the family garden was always the center of the farmstead. |
| other states, but growing up on the farm they had their share of animals... the goats, the sheep, the rabbits, the calves, the pigs, and loved being part of 4-H. I am still working on finding all the photos of the champion goats at the State Fair. You can see the pics of their shining and proud faces while participating in the Lamb Lead at the State Fair where they modeled their own wool outfits that they had sewn themselves. Every summer was a hectic one with all the chores and getting ready for the highlight of the year which was the County Fair. I miss those days! All of the girls are now married and starting families of their own, but they help the farm any way they can. Elise works on the behind the scenes programming with computer applications and is our farm Meteorologist while pursuing her PhD in Atmospheric Research. After running in college, and a stint as an assistant college track coach, Britta now uses her love of running to help coordinate our trail runs. Kayla may have moved from our farm, but she married a farm boy who is the fifth generation of his family on the farm in Northwestern Wisconsin. They are working to build up their beef herd to supply more of our members with fresh and wholesome pastured beef. |
