According to Steve Young - RARE EARTH FARM is located about thirty miles north of Milwaukee off Hwy. 43 in Belgium Wisconsin. The farm has been dedicated to growing food for individual families by subscription since 1990. ?Community Supported Agriculture? as its called forms an active partnership between the farmer and consumer. Funding for the farms entire operating costs are acquired from membership fees submitted prior to the season?s start. Participating in the program each member receives an equal ?share? of the total season?s harvest. OUR PHILOSOPHY in growing vegetables and raising livestock on our 20 acre farm is based upon using methods that are safe for the consumer, the environment, and to all of us who work here. Although our farm is not technically certified organic we use techniques and materials that are available and used by organic growers. Soil testing, composting, cover crops, adding soil amendments, and integrated pest management (IPM) are techniques we use in taking a more natural and biological approach to farming. The attention we give to our crops pays off in the quality of the vegetables harvested. We?ve made a personal commitment in our business to renew and strengthen the association between small scale farmers, the consumer, and our precious earth. With a direct farm source for your favorite vegetables you?ll receive fresh quality produce that compares to what you would harvest from your own backyard garden.
