GROWER SPOTLIGHT
Driftless Organics
Growing up working their parents’ organic dairy farm, Josh and Noah Engel have farming in their blood. At the ages of nine and eleven, they decided to grow some potatoes in their parents’ backyard. It didn’t take long for them to realize, as they pulled great bushel loads of spuds from the earth, that their passion and talents lie in growing organic vegetables. As they themselves grew, so did their ambition and the number of crops they raised and sold. What began as a quarter acre field of potatoes has now expanded to over one hundred acres of vegetables, fruits, small grains and sunflowers; all grown in the driftless region of local Southwest Wisconsin
