A group of farms in Door and Kewaunee counties experimenting with different conservation strategies you see in area fields is now one operation larger. The Door-Kewaunee Demonstration Farm Network is a joint venture with the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection and Peninsula Pride Farms. Augustian Farms and Deer Run Dairy in Kewaunee, Kinnard Farms in Casco, and Brey Cycle Farms in Sturgeon Bay have all been a part of the network since the beginning. This year, the network brought in 3H Family Farms in Egg Harbor as its fifth operation. 3H Family Farms, run by Brian and Bud Haberli, have begun introducing conservation strategies such as interseeding into their fields over the last few years. Barry Bubolz from the National Resources Conservation Service, which also works with Peninsula Pride Farms on their conservation strategies, says 3H Family Farms helps give them another unique perspective on the work they are trying to do.
3H Family Farms will host the next Peninsula Pride Farms Conservation Conversation on July 16th at 6 p.m. You can find more details about the event below.
