Interested in what we are growing this year? 
Wholly Rooted Farm is a few acres of beautiful land outside of Deerfield, Wisconsin.  We use organic and permaculture principles. 

Each year we try to grow a bit more and add and expand in a manageable way. 

Our plans for 2023:
  • Add another 60-80 plant types to our medicinal and natives gardens 
  • Grow herbs used in Asian medicine (TCM, Kampo, Hanyak, etc.) 
  • Begin selling dried herbs
  • Increase our permaculture reclamation in our energy optimization and organization
  • Integrate fermented plant biological supports and controls in our systems
  • Add another dozen perennial, cane, bush, and tree fruit
  • Grow more plants used to collect seeds
  • Design and implement water systems to help during dry times and to get rainwater catchment into the back acre
  • Continue to look at options for building an outdoor kitchen that includes open fire cooking and wood fired oven
  • Plant winecaps to be a part of our woodland medicinal area
  • Add more raised beds for specific food plants that are eaten by wildlife - and use attractive fencing or deterrents with the beds
  • Create vertical garden spaces on the greenhouse frames
  • Work on fountain and seating area garden with aromatic plants
  • Create a summer kitchen distillation space that is easy to use, without so much setup/breakdown time for hydrosols and education
  • Add more at-risk native plants from Wisconsin DNR lists to grow and plant into the prairie spaces and woodland spaces
  • Create summer shaded space on the deck using plants/vertical garden design ideas
  • Create new garden area as the perennial areas to date have now been filled

Other future plans: 
  • Future: Build a space where people can stay when they come to visit - either an RV, 2-3 season tent on a platform , or a tiny house. 
  • Future: Create solar systems for the greenhouse and add a drying shed for herbs behind the greenhouse that utilizes the hot greenhouse air.
  • And, more!
