Meadowlark Farm and Mill Field Day

What a unique opportunity NPSAS has in 2026 to be working on a research project through SARE with farms in 4 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 Wepking’s 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 wanted to share his

knowledge with someone or a family looking to farm.  The Wepkings were thrust into their position of 

farm ownership long before they anticipated or were ready, but yet their resilience shines.

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