Last weekend my son and I made a visit to Sweetland Farm in Menonomie, WI (link and pictures at right) and yesterday our whole family visited Anderson Farm in Arkansaw, WI (link and pictures are also at right). Getting to know these farmers is part of the whole picture for me. You see first-hand what the animals are eating, how they are being treated and the overall dedication of these farmers to provide good food.
Sweetland Farm is an amazing place. Check out their farm store sometime - they sell milk, cream, buttermilk, yogurt, eggs, home-made kombucha, olive oil, celtic sea salt, Organic Valley butter, pure maple syrup, grass-fed ground beef and...soon chicken again (see the little chicks at right). Sweetland eggs are the best I have ever eaten. When you crack one open, the deep orange color reminds you of how much omega 3 is sitting in these things!
I'm part of a local group that takes turns picking up bi-weekly orders for everyone so we can share the cost of the gas. Karen and Dave have a list of the Twin Cities driving share groups and maybe you would consider joining one near you.
