Penner Farm - What's down on the farm.

Penner Farm
Penner Farm started as a hobby garden development on beautiful Rice Lake in 2009 with the purchase of an old Massey Harris farm tractor, a two-bottom plow and a disc harrow. Some land had already been cleared to complete landscaping for the residence which gave an opportunity to try growing vegetables on a larger scale than in a small garden. The addition of laying hens, some horses and the construction of a Gambrel-style barn in 2013 made for a real farm feel! In the first few years, it did not seem like a move toward local marketing of heritage vegetables, but a few trips to another local producer's farm stimulated interest in growing market-ready vegetables for local consumption. This influence brought Penner Farm to where it is today! With a commercial grade cold frame greenhouse, a second heated greenhouse on line and 3 acres of land cleared, crop rotation and planting versatility became a reality. Additional farming equipment has been added as required over the years, ensuring an efficient, quality operation.
