Produce Point

It’s hard to believe that 7 months ago these fig trees were 10” long sticks. No leaves. No roots and sitting in ziplock bags in my fridge. Now we’re getting to try some new varieties, and only becoming more excited to share the bounty next season! 😋

I know we’re a lettuce farm but man I’m into these fruit trees! 🍋 🌳

My mom remembers her uncle digging out his fig tree every year and burying it in a pile of mulch back in the 50’s to keep it alive in the harsh winters of North Central Wisconsin. No other plant we’ve worked with has garnered the attention of these trees. Exclamations like “They’re huge!” and “It smells like figs in here!” Make our day - along with stories told about how immigrant family members managed to bring and maintain figs in northern climates after moving to America. Three seasons into growing figs we’re pretty certain we will have some for sale less than a year from now, giving more people in our community the chance to have fig stories and memories too. ☮️ ❤️ 🌳

You might never make it to the big city but you can grab a Yew Nork sandwich from Sourdough | Sweets | Sandwiches … and that’s almost just as good. Especially amongst a local central Wisconsin fig grove…grown with Bucket Ruckus ☮️ ❤️ 🥬
