Triple Valley Farms
For my photo essay I have choose to share some photos I had taken this fall on my grandparents farm. Since we have already discussed organic farming and the issues surrounding farming in general, I thought it would pertain to this class very well.
All of the crops on the farm are raised and harvested organically, and maintained independently by my grandfather and other family members.
The farm covers between about 400 acres, and is located just outside Pigeon Falls, Wisconsin.
The acreage on this farm does not only include crop land, it is also plus in hardwoods and provides an excellent for wildlife.
All of the crops harvested are fertilized by the cattle on the farm, these cattle are raised from birth on the farm and fed only a natural diet containing zero hormonally enhanced food.
The farm has been in the family for well over 100 years and has been the livelihood for my grandparents and their parents before them. A majority of my childhood has been spent here as well, whether it was hunting, family gatherings, or just helping out. The farm is without a doubt my favorite place to be, and I consider it my own little getaway.
I love the pictures and the information about the farm. You are very lucky to have that opportunity. I've been trying to convince my parents to buy a cow so we can raise it organically for beef.
ReplyDeleteThese are some awesome pictures. Im glad that we go to hear about the different things that your farm offered. It is really neat that you guys have a lot of wooded area there so animals can live in their natural habitat.
ReplyDeleteYour family farm looks so beautiful! It's good that it is fertilized by the cattle. Loved the photos!
