Family-owned and operated traditional dairy farm since 1959
The family’s 70-cow dairy farm was purchased by Dave’s father in 1959, and to this day, Dave and his brother proudly continue farming the same land.
In 2016, the family farm transformed into a garden nursery
The barnyard was transformed into a thriving plant nursery, the silo area became a charming garden shop courtyard, the old bunk feeder turned into an antique shop, and the former cow pasture now blooms with hostas and perennials instead of grazing grass
Country Diva
Featured on Country Diva magazine. Born a farmers daughter, then became a farmers wife. Faith, Hope and Farming is what led her to her current path.
Hosta Farmers
Featured on PBS Wisconsin Life channel! Debbie and Dave Bauman reinvented their third-generation dairy farm into a garden oasis.
Who We Are
Debbie & Dave Bauman
Owners
In 2016, changes in Dave’s health led to the decision to sell the animals. He and his brother continued to grow crops on the farmland, but the barn, barnyard, and pasture presented a new opportunity. With Dave’s full support, Debbie transformed her longtime passion into a thriving venture.
The barnyard became home to their plant nursery, the old silo was reimagined as a charming garden courtyard, the bunk feeder turned into an antique shop, and the former cow pasture now grows vibrant hostas and perennials in soil that's certainly well-fertilized!
Her expertise in native plants ensures that every project not only looks stunning but also thrives in Wisconsin's climate.
