Cuff Farms is family owned and operated by the Cuff Family in Hortonville, Wisconsin, selling asparagus, strawberries, pumpkins, pasture-raised pork and poultry, homemade goods, and tons of family fun. (Sandy) Cuff, his wife Lois, and their daughter Maggie. The farm covers 249 acres but only 200 acres of this land is tillable. Besides growing a rotation of winter wheat, rye, oats, and soy beans, we also grow 1 acre of asparagus, 35 acres of strawberries, and 15 acres of pumpkins and fall items every year in a field rotation. Strawberries have been part of this farm's history since the early 1960's. Sandy's brother Jim and his father, George Sr., began by building an acre pond fed by a natural spring and a well. Back then they planted a few acres of strawberries by hand, and each year the business has steadily grown larger to where it is today. Strawberries seem to like the sandy soil here on Ledgehill Road. The sand in the soil helps maintain good water drainage. Strawberries will not tolerate "wet feet". They require full sunlight and plenty of water to do their best. Our farm has plenty! The pumpkin fields are planted in spring and cultivated along with the strawberries until they are ready to be harvested during the month of October. Over 5000 school children will visit the fields in October on their pumpkin pickin' field trips! Have you noticed our bee hives? To assure a high level of pollination for our strawberry plant blossoms and our pumpkin plant blossoms, we have 80 bee hives placed on our land during the growing season. The honey that comes from these bee hives is processed at Knox farms and sold in the shed during pumpkin season! We also sell jams, preserves, and maple syrup all grown and harvested locally.
