Welcome to our Farmstead!
Farmers
We’re the Fansler Family. We are first generation farmers with a dream to build a sustainable farm with a focus on quality for ourselves and expand to our community.
Our family farm is located in Janesville, Wisconsin where we are slowly expanding our infrastructure. We have 2 pastures fenced in with animals on both grazing. There is also a small garden that we build on a little more each year.
Livestock
Our laying hens are pasture raised in the largest pasture we have and in the summers we raise Cornish Cross chickens in tractors so they can receive fresh grass each day. We have a small herd of ADGA registered Nigerian Dwarf goats that we raise for the milk to make our soap. We also have Kune Kune pigs we raise for meat for our family and lard for our soap. The other animals we raise on our farm is Jersey cows for milk and Katahdin sheep for meat. We feel that this is a good mix but we are still fine tuning our systems. Things get better each season.
Food
We’re on a quest for better nutrition by bringing our favorite recipes to peak nutritional possibilities. Our family goal is to grow our own food, preserve what we can’t use fresh. Live more organically and locally. If I can feed my animals better I will also be fed better. Those beliefs are the heart of this website. Follow our journey from seed to stomach and all the life that happens in between.
My hope is that this website will help to document all of the skills learned and steps we take to reach our dream. So our family, our friends, our customers can experience this journey with us.
