Location:  Red Door Family Farm

Red Door Family Farm is a  first generation farm dedicated to the idea that caring for the land and growing high quality organic food can be mutually beneficial for the farm, the farmer, and the community. The farm regains their relationship to the land and to the food that we eat while helping to revitalize small farms in Central Wisconsin.
