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.
