Heritage AcresTravis Pydo
Email: [email protected] Phone: 715-360-3427 Heritage Acres is located in Butternut, WI where we strive to raise meat products that have been naturally and ethically raised. The quality of meat that comes from the animals raised on our farm is superior to anything you can buy in the grocery store. The beef, pork, lamb, and poultry we raise are all considered “heritage breeds,” hence our name, Heritage Acres. These breeds are animals that were traditionally raised in yesteryear. These animals are superior because they are naturally resistant to parasites and diseases, which in return mean these animals, are not injected or given sub therapeutic antibiotics or hormones. The heritage breeds instinctively graze and forage well on pasture, which means this meat is higher in nutrients, vitamins, and essential fatty acids due to a balanced diet. The sustainable natural methods in which these animals are raised leads to a higher quality meat that is well marbled and full of flavor. Our cuts of meat are tender, juicy and flavorful. |

Through Dirt FarmRyan Padrutt
Email: [email protected] ThroughDirt Farm is a vegetable farm located in the town of Washburn Wisconsin. The name ThroughDirt Farm is a reference to how important the management of soil, affectionately known as dirt, is to growing quality food while minimizing environmental impact. Inputs such as fertilizer, compost, cover crops and tillage, all affect the soil ecosystem. When managed thoughtfully, these inputs move through the soil and provide the necessary conditions for healthy crops and healthy people. At ThroughDirt Farm we believe it’s important to see the land your food is grown on and to know the people who manage that land. By selling to local residents we hope to build trust in the quality of the vegetables produced and create opportunities for people to visit the farm. We are proud to be working together with other farmers as part of The Bayfield Foods Cooperative. |

White Winter WineryJon and Kim Hamilton
Email: [email protected] Website: www.whitewinter.com Phone: (715) 372-5656 Established 1996. Just 35 miles east of the Twin Ports, in Iron River, Wisconsin, White Winter Winery and Distillery produces high quality hand crafted Meads (honey wine), Brandy and Hard Cider using locally produced pure Wisconsin honey and fruit. Mead is the oldest fermented beverage in the world but relatively unknown in modern times. We believe strongly in using what is in our own back yard and have built our business on this sustainable practice. We are truly a regional winery using ingredients grown within approximately 150 miles of the cellar whenever possible. We use what our neighbors produce to make a great product. It helps them, it helps us, it's environmentally and ethically sound, and you, the consumer, know exactly what you are drinking, where it comes from, how it's made, and that every purchase stays in the community and supports a family farm (and winery!). Stop in for a sample, a glass, a bottle or a case, take a tour and relax! Not in the mood for wine? Try one of our non-alcoholic fruit spritzers! Great for the kids or if you are on the road. Look for our fine products at a retailer near you. |
