Sandhill Farm

Sandhill Farm A one acre diversified vegetable farm in Sinsinawa, WI. Our approach to farming allows for a more intimate connection to the earth.

We sell certified organic produce at farmers’ markets and offer a 18-Week Summer Share, Fall Share, & Market Share. We were both falling in love with growing food before we ever met each other. Andie was nose deep in gardening books simply enjoying the trial and error of growing vegetables in the backyard. Meanwhile, between “guerrilla” grazing, urban farming and not-for profit work Ashley explore

d different ways to engage with growing food and feeding people. Our paths crossed years later in a local urban garden. The more time we spent together, the more we discovered our shared passion and values for the way in which we view agriculture. Somewhere between afternoon hikes and sipping craft beer on our porch, the two of us realized the opportunity to produce food together at the Sinsinawa Mound Collaborative Farm. We set out on an adventure of planning, researching, purchasing, and learning how we operated as a team. Our farming journey began on a shoestring budget and even today we still operate without debts or loans. Now in our fifth year of vegetable farming, we are grateful that our paths have converged and guided us to where we are now. Regardless of the financial and physical challenges, we genuinely adore our small scale vegetable farm. Each day brings its obstacles and opportunities which is truly unique about growing food. This is what inspires us to make the best of each season and pushes us to provide our community with the highest quality of fresh produce. The two of us combined have a wealth of knowledge between the food industry, managing farmers' markets, and operating a vegetable farm. We have a love for growing and cooking food, and farming in a way that contributes to the earth. All of our work is done with hand tools and we minimize tillage as much as possible. We focus on intensive bed production in order to reduce the amount of land needed to grow.

Friends & Customers of Sandhill Farm-

You may or may not have heard that we’ve paused our farm operation for the 2026 season.

In our long search for farmable land and a home, we have come to the extremely difficult decision to pause our farm. We are torn about this decision, but we feel it’s the most sustainable choice for us for the long haul. We have wrestled with this idea since the end of the 2023 season. The sadness we feel, aside from saying goodbye to the soil and nature’s rhythms we’ve come to know and love, is not being able to feed our community.

So let us be clear. We are not pausing our operation because we aren’t successful. We are pausing because we ARE successful.

We’ve outgrown the greenhouse, the produce cooler, and the one acre we farm. We’ve been eager and ready to expand our acreage/operation for a few years now. We have asked for additional acreage every season since 2022 to only be met with denial. All that said, we’ve hit our ceiling at the Sinsinawa Mound.

We are not stagnant. We ARE seeking a new space where we can live, and thrive, and create.

We desire to build high tunnels, plant perennial crops, grow more food, implement more cover cropping, better our crop rotation, expand our pollinator habitats, and most importantly: live where we farm.

We didn’t fail and we ARE still searching for our forever farm.

We are eternally grateful to all of you who have helped us fuel our hope, passion, and grit. And we are truly sorry we won’t be growing food this year. As we continue down this path, we are hopeful we will see you on the other side of the bend.

Here it is…the last day of our farmers’ market season. 😊 Come to the and shop at the We’ll have a few items available: leeks, baby bok choy, head lettuce, salad mix, yellow and red onions, parsley, dried thyme & dried cayenne peppers 🌶️ 🥬🧅

We’ve started to settle into our “off season” life. In fact, the first photo is the last time we worked until sunset (3 weeks ago). We spent a lot of time this past week with family and friends. This time together with others has truly lifted our spirits 💕

It’s been a good growing season overall. We had an excellent team that helped us see how we can get things done as a team instead of just the two of us doing ALL the things. This allowed us to continue to build on our work-life balance and really streamline our farm activities. Which is so hard as a small scale veggie farmer! Thanks so much Hannah, Jake, Ellie, Dale, John, and Mary (Ash’s mom ❤️)!

We not only managed (literally and positively) a successful season but we pulled off the wedding celebration of the year 🎉😉

We are so blessed to be rich in community. Thank you all for supporting our farming journey every step of the way! Including our love for one another ❤️ Our land search continues with positive momentum and the whole process evolves as we keep getting the word out. No matter where we end up or however we change as a farm business, we know this community will be waiting for us on the other side 👏

We still have some fresh veggies, even with all the snow we got last week! Good thing we have our reliable garden cart to trek through the foot of snow with our produce haul 🤪

Swing by the today from 9-noon. We’ll likely be here one or two more weeks (pending sales and weather this coming week). So, all the more reason to stop out, shop local, and say hello as we end our 8th growing season ❤️

Sometimes when things are hard we have to remind ourselves why we dedicate ourselves to growing food in this Earth. We cherish these private moments and thought we’d share one of many. Fun side note: Andies face gets redder the further we trudge up the hill 💪

Thanks for everyone’s donations! 🙌 A fellow CSA member (Jennifer) snagged a boat load of donations to take to St. Luke’s church where they have a food pantry AND cook the Saturday evening meal (Food for the Soul) in Dubuque! They received beets, leeks, green onions, fennel, parsley, salad mix, a whole bushel of storage onions, lots of carrots, and two cases of head lettuce ❤️

These impacts happened so fast because of our generous community. Thanks to all our customers, CSA members, and Barony Bakery for all your contributions!

Hey Friends! We wanted to share information regarding our farm search once again! Many people ask us if we’ve found a place yet, but we haven’t. We would be shouting it from the roof tops if we did find something! We’ve been searching for about 4 years and have relationships with many farming organizations and realtors (who have their eyes and ears out too). However, we are making another push to spread the word because we really feel that the right place will be found with the right person(s) which may not come from a realtor listing site, Zillow, etc.

Please inquire if you have any leads or want to connect us to a property owner, realtor, farming organization, or whatever comes to your mind. We are open to conversation and visiting sites to sift out what will or won’t work.

Additionally, we are open to leasing land if purchasing is not an option. Our goal still remains to find something by the end of 2025 or before the growing season begins for 2026.

Read the photos (from our flyer) for farm search specifics like acreage desired, distance/location, and more.

Help us find our future farm! ❤️
