About the Event
Are you interested in learning about Regenerative Agriculture and Soil Health? We have the farm for you! Come join us for a day of networking, exploring, learning, and sharing at a mixed-species managed grazing farm with crops and gardens.
Siverling Centennial Farm is a 320 acre farm located in Bloomer, WI. They are certified organic and rotationally graze about 150 beef cattle. They also have pastured pigs, a vegetable garden with a CSA program, and raise organic row crops. We will tour the pasture and gardens, as well as their on-site inspected butcher facility, certified kitchen, and farm store.
"We farm in a way that produces healthy, quality food for our community," says farmer host Vanessa Klemish. Bring your questions and curiousity to this visit, along with comfortable hiking shoes.
This event is a network gathering and tour, with a Potluck Meal. Please bring your own chair and a dish to share! WiWiC will provide paper goods, cutlery, and drinks. You will also want a water bottle for the pasture tour.
