Meadowlark Farm and Mill Field Day

CANCELLED – We’re sorry, this event has been cancelled due to scheduling conflicts.

What a unique opportunity NPSAS has in 2026 to be working on a research project through SARE with farms in four different states. One of the participating farms is in Ridgeway, Wisconsin with John and Halee  Wepking.

As their website says, John and Halee met cooking at one of New York City’s most beloved restaurants, Prune. Food was what brought them together, and it is what they continue to be passionate about as farmers. We are excited to see what these foodies are doing on their farm and mill. Come listen as they share their story and how they are helping to research and test the NPSAS Farmer Bred Devyatka Buckwheat developed through the Farm Breeder Network of NPSAS. .

The Wepkings have a unique story of how they became farmers through a Craig’s List ad that led them from New York to Wisconsin. They were mentored by a farmer looking to retire but who also wanted to share his knowledge with someone or a family looking to farm.  The Wepkings saw the ad and ended up  taking over the farm long before they were ready, but they have made it work. Com and join us and see how their resilience shines.

This event is an event sponsored by NPSAS, SARE and other great supporters.
