About the farm
Blackbrook Farm began in 2011 and is a Certified Organic family farm located in Western WI about 60 miles northeast of the Twin Cities outside of Amery, WI. On our 140 acre farm we grow vegetables, fruits and herbs; raise pastured pigs, graze a small herd of Scottish Highland cattle and this year broiler chickens will be making a comeback! 2020 will be our 9th year in production. We market our vegetables and meat through a small CSA, direct to consumer sales as well as wholesale to area restaurants and food co-ops.
