Healthy food, healthy soil
We prioritize flavor, nutrition, non-GMO crop choices and growing practices that avoid chemical sprays and synthetic fertilizers. We want our soil to become richer and more alive with every growing season.
Our Mission & Regenerative Farming
Healthy soil. Nutritious food. A farm that gives back.
At Supper Club Farms, we work to grow exceptionally nutritious, great-tasting food close to home, using regenerative practices that build healthier soil and reduce waste. We believe animals, crops, mushrooms, compost and renewable energy belong in one connected farm system. Every season, our goal is to produce more of what the farm needs right here, while caring for the land and the families we feed.
Grown Here. Raised Here. Taste of the Northwoods.Animals are part of the cycle
Our pigs and chickens provide food while helping create the organic materials we compost to feed our gardens and high tunnels. We see livestock as partners in building farm fertility.
Use what the farm produces
We mill lumber for our own projects, use sawdust to grow gourmet mushrooms, and work to turn spent mushroom substrate and other organic material into compost. Worm castings help enrich our potting mixes.
Local food, less waste
We want food to travel miles, not thousands of miles, to reach local tables. We're expanding our use of solar power, with a long-term goal of transitioning to fully renewable energy.
Why We’re Building This Farm
We started with a belief that the best food comes from healthy land and careful farming. Our mission is to raise exceptionally nutritious, great-tasting food while continually improving the soil that grows it. We want the people who eat our food to know where it comes from, how it was raised, and why those choices matter.
For us, regenerative agriculture means more than replacing one purchased product with another. It means designing a farm where each part helps the next. Instead of always buying something to produce something, we are working toward producing more of our own growing materials, fertility and energy.
Our animals are an important part of our regenerative approach.
Animals, compost and living soil
We believe animals belong in a healthy farming system. Our chickens and pigs produce eggs and meat, but they also contribute organic material to a composting cycle. We combine and manage farm materials to build compost for our growing beds and high tunnels. We raise composting worms and use their castings to improve our potting mixes and soil. Our goal is to rely less on purchased fertilizers and growing inputs while building a more resilient farm.
Our mushroom growing is one part of a larger cycle of resource reuse.
From the sawmill to mushrooms to compost
We operate our own sawmill to cut lumber for farm construction and projects. That process creates sawdust, which we can use as a growing material for gourmet mushrooms. After harvest, the spent mushroom substrate can become an ingredient in compost, returning organic matter to the land. It's the kind of practical cycle we want to build throughout the farm: make use of what we have, waste less, and keep improving the soil.
Our high tunnels help us grow fresh local produce in the Northwoods.
Better food, closer to home
We choose crops with flavor, nutrition and local growing conditions in mind, and we prioritize non-GMO varieties. We aim to grow food without chemical pesticides, herbicides or synthetic fertilizers. Rather than having food shipped thousands of miles, we want our neighbors to have access to fresh produce, mushrooms, eggs and farm-raised meat grown right here in northern Wisconsin.
Building toward energy independence
We already use some solar energy and want to continue expanding renewable power as our farm grows. Our long-term goal is to operate on 100% renewable energy. Like every part of our regenerative plan, this is a goal we are actively working toward, not a claim that we've already completed the transition.
A farm we're proud to share
We are happy to be part of the regenerative farming movement and to show what a small, local farm can become when it brings animals, crops, mushrooms, composting and resource reuse together. We know there's always more to learn and improve. That's part of why we farm this way.
When you buy from Supper Club Farms, you're helping us build healthier soil, a stronger local food system and a farm that aims to give more back to the land each year. We hope you'll become a customer, visit the farm and be part of what we're building.
We would be proud to grow and raise the food that nourishes your family.
