|
EDUCATION
We offer a variety of classes, school programs, consultative services and workshops for adults, teens, children and farmers.
Our programs include Farm to School, gardening, food
preparation and preservation, summer camps, farm tours, field trips, workshops and much more!
ORGANIC FARM
We are a working organic farm that serves as a model for sustainable growing practices while teaching the next generation of farmers how to grow food.
Through our CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) program, consumers enter into a partnership to receive a weekly “share” of the farm’s produce - a box of nourishing, certified-organic produce delivered each week throughout the growing season.
DESTINATION
We provide our community – as well as travelers from anywhere – a place to hold events in our conference and retreat center. Guests also have the opportunity to experience farm life by staying in either our Bed & Breakfast or certified International Hostel.
We are open year-round and are available for weddings, anniversaries, family reunions, birthdays, or just a relaxing retreat in nature with a farm fresh breakfast!

 Angela Rester is the Executive Director of Wellspring and has been in the nonprofit sector for over 40 years, and gardening for five decades.
With the vision and support of the board of directors, Angela's approach to food safety, security and sovereignty has led to a system that provides for and creates educated consumers who are demanding more organic and local food.
Also, the organic farmer and gardener education programs work to find ways to make land accessible to young and beginning farmers who may need mentoring support.
This has inspired the creation of a virtual food hub slated to launch in 2016 to supply local institutions and business, which will lead to an organic greenbelt in southeastern Wisconsin.
