Spend a Friday afternoon getting a behind-the-scenes look at an organic vegetable farm/CSA--plus a close-up look at what it takes to grow seeds for sale!
Regenerative Roots is a small, certified organic farm that uses a number of permaculture techniques. It’s located just north of Fort Atkinson, WI. The business began on rented space in 2012, and moved to its current location in 2013. Regenerative Roots now cultivates about two acres in diversified produce. In addition to weekly CSA share deliveries during the season, and holiday shares in November and December, partners Dennis Fiser and Clint Freund sell their produce at the Fort Farmers Market through October, and at the Whitewater winter market.
According to their website: “Our mission is to be a responsible steward of the soil. We are committed to a highly diverse ecology for producing food which encompasses perennials, livestock, and fungi alongside annual vegetable production. We envision the farm as an educational space for ourselves and the community. We minimize the use of fossil fuels by using human power, gravity, and passive energy systems in its place. We would like to keep the farm at a manageable size, where we can observe and participate in all of its aspects. We believe all of these values will help produce high quality food to nourish the land, ourselves and our neighbors in an ecologically regenerative and economically sustainable way.
Cultivating The Commons is Clint’s seed business, also based on the farm. He raises seed for organic, open-pollinated vegetables and flowers. “Look to us for seedwork, breeding, and general nerdy seed stuff!"
Should be a fun time and a great chance to learn!
