ABOUT
Neu Erth Worm farm was established in 1996 as one of the first CSA farms in Sauk County. At the beginning, our shareholders were mostly in Chicago where their connection to the source of their food and knowledge of how it was grown was more remote. Over time, with increased awareness and demand, we now grow solely for Sauk County and are a part of the evolving agricultural economy that values how food is grown, how far it travels and how it can form stronger links to a more sustainable food systems and healthier local economy.
In 2005, in an effort to strengthen and add links to this food chain, we began working with other farms to aggregate our produce to gain access to larger markets like stores and restaurants. Many of those growers have gone on to start their own farms and CSAs. Though there is still much work to do to improve our local food system this remains our consistent goal. We still partner with other farms. The multi-farm model reduces risk and increases diversity for both the farmer and shareholders.
Neu Erth Wormfarm will continue to work with our neighbors and colleagues who can provide certain items we don't grow. Shareholders will be able to purchase an egg share and occasional artisanal products from our network of friends.
