Garden Education

Wellspring teaches organic gardening. Anyone interested in learning how to grow their own food in harmony with nature is welcome. Interns live at the farm from early April to mid-November, to learn hands-on all the aspects of a full growing season. Summer interns, worker shares and volunteers are welcome to gain practical experience while working beside our garden team. Applications for internships begin each fall for the following season and are open 'til March.

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)
Community Supported Agriculture is a partnership between grower and consumer. Wellspring has been a CSA since 1988. People who want to know where their food comes from and how it is grown join a CSA. They support the grower by signing up early and paying upfront for a season's supply of fresh produce. Wellspring in return provides 24 weeks of fresh, certified organic vegetables and herbs from late early June to mid-November.

Households receive produce that is in season each week along with recipes and tips on how to prepare the fresh food. Local residents pick up their food at the farm each Thursday afternoon. Others have food delivered to neighborhood drop-off sites in West Bend on Thursdays and in Grafton, Milwaukee and Wauwatosa on Tuesday afternoons.

There are farm festivals for subscribing families each spring, summer and fall. The Earth Day Celebration and Herb Sale are on the 4th Saturday of April from 9:00AM - 1:00 pm. In early summer is a picnic at the farm for members and garden share families. The Harvest Fest is in September combined with a Taste of Wellspring gourmet meal from our organic produce 3:00 - 8:00pm. There are hay rides, live music, river walks and self-guided garden tours.
