Wellhausen Farm
Our Farm
The Wellhausen Farm has deep roots in this land.
Long before it became a vegetable farm, this was a working dairy farm where early mornings, hard work, and a close connection to the land were part of everyday life.
That history still shapes how we farm today.
Over time, the farm evolved. What once focused on milk and livestock gradually shifted toward growing fresh, seasonal produce. But the values stayed the same—care for the land, respect for the seasons, and a belief that good food starts with good stewardship.
The farm has changed over the years, but the heart of it hasn’t.
It’s still about the land. Still about the seasons. And still about growing food the right way.
A Community of Local Producers
Around us is a network of local farmers and makers we work with to help bring eggs, dairy, meats, and other goods to our community. It’s a simple idea: food is better when it’s local, and even better when you know where it comes from.
We’re still a small group of people doing the work ourselves planting, tending, harvesting, and delivering what we grow. No shortcuts. Just food, grown with care and shared with the people who enjoy it.
Meet The Farmers:
Jim holds a degree in horticulture as well as Landscape Architecture, which means he once designed landscapes on paper… He now designs them with tractors, weather, and a lot more unpredictability. These days, he’s especially focused on things like degree days which matter a lot more in farming his actual degree.
He’s responsible for big-picture planning on the farm, and occasionally reminding everyone that nature rarely reads the plan.
Farmer Jim
Young Jim
Jim holds a degree in Horticulture, which means he officially studied how to grow things and then came home to prove it actually works in real life.
He handles day today farm operations, crop care, and quality control. He also specializes in something we call “constructive disagreement” with Farmer Jim which keeps things interesting and usually results in better crops. Jim is often found taking things apart, putting them back together, or tinkering with equipment and processes to make planting and harvesting smoother, more efficient, and well thought out from start to finish.
