Our Story

Historic

The land of Gwenyn Hill was first cultivated in 1842 by the J.D. Williams family, whose fourth generation continues to help operate the farm today.

‘Gwenyn,’ which means ‘honeybee’ in Welsh, speaks to the Welsh heritage of our farm and recognizes our primary pollinators, that bring new life to our gardens, fields, and orchard each and every year.

Protected

Once on the brink of being subdivided, our historic farm, with its underground springs, deep woods, and bucolic hill top views, is being protected and nurtured for future generations.

We are building soil health, replanting hedgerows, and increasing the number of birds, bees, and butterflies that make this land their home.

Holistic

Gwenyn Hill is a sustainable, integrated, organic farm. We care for our livestock, crops, orchard, and market garden, as well as for our soil, woods, water, and wildlife.

Conservation and farming go hand-in-hand. Our Wisconsin farm is an interconnected, ecological web.

Preserved

While we honor our farm’s distinguished past, it is for the future that we undertake our work.

Our eye is on tomorrow’s children, on the health of the land they will one day inherit, and on the nutritional value, flavor, and diversity of the food that will nourish us all.

We are passionate about preserving our land.
