• High quality, fun youth programming available through our field trips!
• Our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program feeds over 100 families throughout the season with the freshest and best produce each week! We also partner with other organic farms to offer an egg and mushroom share.

  their eggs for breakfast! How cool!"

Special thanks to our perennial partners, Dr. Bronners Family Foundation! 

For over 14 years, the Dr. Bronner's Foundation has generously supported our work in all things local food - because of this, we have been able to do so much work over the years that wouldn't be possible otherwise. Hundreds of Farmers-in-Training, thousands of youth and adults engaged in hands-on learning later, we can say with certainty that Wellspring is and has been making a serious impact on the local food system in Wisconsin.
