Field Day: Brattset Family Farm

Come experience Brattset Family Farm, a 290 acre grass-based grazing farm,  located within the rolling drumlin fields of Southeastern Wisconsin.  This multi-generational farm produces 100% grass fed & finished beef.  The cattle live  humane, stress free lives, grazing on the plentiful pastures and are  rotated onto fresh pasture daily to assure they have an extremely  healthy environment and delicious food.  

The farm is organic certified and preserved for agricultural use & wildlife conservation, in perpetuity, for the  benefit of future generations by a conservation easement held by the  Drumlin Area Land Trust. The farm consists of crop/pasture land; restored prairies; woodland; wooded wetland;  wild life ponds and wild life habitat; a herd of 100% grass fed and  finished beef cattle; pastured hogs; and a Silvoculture nut and fruit tree planting.

An avid steward of the land, Farmer Kirsten Jurcek champions sustainable and organic farming and conservation practices and has particated in multiple NRCS programs.
