OUR STORY

2nd Generation Family-Owned Business

Ledgeview Gardens is a small, family-owned business in De Pere, WI, specializing in sustainable, pesticide-free fruits and vegetables. We are committed to growing produce in the healthiest way possible. We use all sustainable farming practices and aim to minimalize tillage while utilizing an array of cover crops and farm made compost.

ABOUT LEDGEVIEW GARDENS

Portrait of the Ledgeview Gardens farm owner and his family, featuring two adults seated with a toddler on their lap, and thr

"On the 8th day, God looked down on his planned paradise

and said, "I need a caretaker!". So God made a farmer."

​

While we have never viewed ourselves as the strong religious type, this quote brings us great pride in our chosen path. We believe in being the caretakers of the earth and strive to do the best we can daily to live up to that expectation. For over two decades, we have proudly grown local, natural, chemical-free produce for our community and expect to improve practices every year. We believe in soil management practices that improve the life of the soil: minimal tillage, active composting, management-intensive grazing, cover cropping, and remineralization.

​

Every day, we get to take part in the most magical act on earth: life from seed. John Leavons once said, "Humankind, despite its many abilities, owes its' existence to a six-inch layer of topsoil and the fact that it rains". This statement rings true, and if it were not for the miracle of plant life and naturally occurring moisture, we would cease to exist.  As farmers, we are honored to take part in this miracle and strive to do what is best for future generations.

HYDROPONIC PRODUCTION

As farmland becomes scarce and property values rise, we look towards technology to help us feed a larger number of people from a smaller plot of land. Hydroponic production is one way to achieve this goal; with efficiency of space, light, water, and other resources, we can produce a high-quality product with less burden on our natural resources.

​

We hope you'll join our farm family and learn with us as we grow into the future of agriculture and small scale, diversified vegetable production.
