Witte's believes in clean, high quality products and fields. We are not organic but we use the IPMmethod to control unwanted pests with the least amount of unnatural interference. We strive for the widest variety of vegetables and fruits and are dedicated to the highest quality product with friendly, knowledgeable service.

The original farm was purchased in 1943 by Bob Witte’s grandfather, Edward. It was farmed by Bob’s father and uncle along with his grandfather and taken over by Bob and Chris in 1985. They raised their three children here, who plan to continue the farming tradition.

The family farm business is rapidly disappearing from southeastern Wisconsin. We hope to keep our farm going for years to come and are looking for like-minded individuals to help us.

We are looking for a farmer to work directly under our farm owner. Some responsibilities include performing physical labor, operating heavy machinery, and supervising farm workers.

To be successful as a farmer, you should demonstrate a passion for the outdoors, knowledge of agricultural machinery, and physical stamina.

We hope to hire an individual that is able to work overtime in those months and part time in the winter/off season months.
