The Farm

Hi, we're Collin & Mae.

A small family farm in northern Wisconsin, up in Door County. Here is who we are and what we grow and raise.

Our story

Two people, a few acres and a lot of eggs.

We're Collin and Mae. We raise chickens, ducks and geese, grow a garden that gets bigger every year, and build just about everything the farm needs.

Mae cooks from scratch with whatever the farm gives us. Collin draws up plans so you can build it too. Our logo comes from the family dairy farm, 1940. Sample copy Collin will tell that story here.
