Bula’s Pleasant Valley Farm

We are Ron and Maureen Bula from Bula's Pleasant Valley Farm. We have been committed to sustainably raising healthier food since we purchased a farm, set in the Baraboo bluffs, back in 1993. As our family began to grow we wanted to supply it with the best and healthiest food we could and in a way that helped to improve the environment. Little did we know how a farm consisting of a garden and a few cattle would grow and diversify over time.

Jasper Apple Farm

Currently, we offer 24 varieties of apples and peaches, pears, and plums. We begin harvesting mid-August and harvest until mid-October.

Mary’s Organic Farm

After Mary moved to Wisconsin, she started farming by growing organic heritage grains. However, she wanted to move away from aggressively tilling the soil for weed control. After cropping, Mary and Rob started with a few organic chickens, a rescue horse and goats with a penchant for escaping. After hearing about rotational grazing at an organic conference in winter of 2018, things fell into place and Mary and Rob bought a herd of Belted Galloway’s who needed a place to live immediately. This winter hardy breed was perfect for their 24-acre organically certified pasture atop a ridge in Plain, Wisconsin.

McWilliams Heritage Farm

Erin and Scott VanGrinsven are the sixth generation raising their family on the McWilliams Heritage Homestead. Alongside their eight children they are living the simple life on 60 rolling acres in the picturesque Sauk county.

Mead-King

Birth of the Mead King You might be wondering how this all got started. Well, as with most things, good friends and alcohol were involved! I took a mead brewing class from my friend Bo, back in 2009. He convinced me that I should buy some supplies to “practice with” (about $150 worth). By the time my first batch was complete, I was entranced with this magical elixir. You could say it was love at first sip!

Narrows Creek Garden

Narrows Creek Garden is a 3rd generation family farm operated by Sandy and Melvin Smith. We are focusing on growing Aronia berries, an emerging ‘super fruit’ that may aid in fighting cancer, lowering cholesterol, and helping control diabetes.

Spirit Valley Alpacas

Spirit Valley Alpacas was established in 2014. We bought five alpacas. This consisted of one male and 4 females! We had a lot to learn as we dove in headfirst! We found that contacting other farms and learning from others is ideal! We found that this community of alpaca owners are very open to helping and bringing mentors!We moved back to our home state of Wisconsin in 2019 and are working to build the same here in the beautiful driftless area! The rolling hills and beautiful rock formations make for great agri-tourism! We look forward to meeting many people being able to share our love of alpacas with all!
