About the farm
Boerson Farm is a 69 acre diversified family farm in rural Green Lake County, located 30 minutes southwest of Oshkosh. We are USDA Certified Organic and grow over 60 varieties of vegetables. We also rotationally graze our grass fed beef herd of Red Devon cows, maintain a flock of laying hens for pasture raised chicken eggs, and work together with a local bee-keeper to manage a modest apiary. We've been dedicated to growing for our local community since 2008 and are committed to providing the highest quality produce, beef, eggs and honey possible using ecologically friendly practices. We love what we do and we want to be your farmers!
