local folks
Meet the community of farmers and producers who fuel our local food economy! When we say local, we mean 100 miles from our door.
1913 Kickapoo Orchard
Located in the hills of Gays Mills, WI, Noel Miller and Harrison Heilman's 1913 Kickapoo Orchard, 1913 West, and Roots to Fruits Nursery combine their shared decades of knowledge and passion for horticulture, pomology, and preserving productive farmland. Together they shape the present and future vision of the orchards and nursery. We interviewed them to learn more.
Las Mujeres
Elise Zelechowski and Tony Bezsylko craft natural wines and ciders at their homestead in the hills of the Driftless region. We stopped by to learn how they are sustainably living, farming, and building community around their shared dream. You can find their products in the beverage cooler at the co-op.
