 Featherstone Farm
Many organic farms exist in the U.S.,
and some of these can be found within a sixty-mile
radius of La Crosse, WI. One of these farms in
particular, Featherstone Farm, is a 20-acre organic
produce farm located 40 miles west of La Crosse in the
Wiscoy Valley. At Featherstone, the workers strive to
maintain a consistent use of the organic farming
practices as described earlier.
Featherstone’s mission
statem ent is the following: “Our philosophy is rooted in
the belief that the freshest, best tasting, and most
nutritious fruits and vegetables come from sustainable
systems that consider the strength and value of all
elements of those systems. We are delighted to offer an
alternative to petrochemical-based industrial
agriculture. Our farm is an attempt to create an
organic, locally rooted, alternative to this industry; a
farm and farmers folks can get to know and trust.” To
