This article by The Guardian describes how we at Saxon Homestead Farm and Saxon Creamery take a sustainable approach to producing milk, and, consequently, cheese.
The Guardian Describes Our Sustainable Practices
Super Cub Airplane Fly-In to the Farm
Read about when 37 airplanes and 500 cows shared our pastures during the 2nd Annual Super Cub Fly-in to Saxon Homestead Farm. This event has taken place on our farm for two years in a row. We enjoy having the Super Cub airplanes land in our field and hosting the pilots and their families for lunch in our historic barn.
Saxon Creamery Cheese Champions
Read this article about Saxon Creamery’s first, second and third place ribbons received at the 2015 United States Championship Cheese Contest. Visit the Saxon Creamery website to learn about how Saxon Creamery skillfully crafts its family of award-winning cheese only from the milk from our dairy herd.
6th Annual Barn Dance Success
Check out this Herald Times Reporter article for details on our successful 6th annual Barn Dance & Chautauqua. We took 2015 off but are looking forward to kick up our heels with you at future barn dances!
Partnering for Progress Barn Dance
Beginning Sept. 2009, along with Partnering for Progress, we have hosted the Wisconsin Barn Dance. Proceeds from the event benefit the Partnering for Progress nonprofit partners: Lakeshore Natural Resource Partnership, Gathering Waters: Wisconsin’s Alliance for Land Trusts, and the Wisconsin School for Beginning Dairy & Livestock Farmers. Our farm collaborates with these three organizations to work toward the shared goal of keeping Wisconsin’s communities thriving. The central mission of Partnering for Progress is to conserve farmland and natural resources, support beginning and continuing farmers, and sustain vibrant communities to improve rural and urban life in Wisconsin.
