Bashaw Valley Farm and Storage

Bashaw Valley Farm and Storage began as a dream back in 1981 after Steve purchased the family farm from his parents. Bashaw Valley Farm first started out as a dairy operation. After several years of dairy farming Steve & Linda realized if the family farm was to survive, they needed to diversify.
Bashaw Valley Greenhouse sprouted in 1987 after purchasing a used greenhouse and rebuilding it along with a retail shop, on the family farm. Never taking the easy road, in 1990 one acre of half-high organically grown blueberries were added to the mix. Since then three more greenhouses have been added as well as 3/4 acre of raspberries, 2/3 of an acre of strawberries and a 10th of an acre of asparagus. They are also experimenting with a small fruit orchard consisting of cherries, pears and plums. After 33 years the greenhouses were sold and the raspberries, cherries and plums discontinued. We still offer picked and u-pick blueberries, fresh picked asparagus in the spring and pears late summer.
At Bashaw Valley animals have always been an important part of the farm. In 1995 the dairy was replaced with a beef cow-calf operation. After a few frustrating years of selling the calves as feeder's another business idea developed. In 2009 the they began to direct market the animals as all natural Grass-fed Angus Beef. Retail cuts are now available in the shop as well as custom orders. Any remaining animals are marketed through the Wisconsin Grass-fed Beef Co-op, this meat is sold in the Madison, Milwaukee and surrounding areas. All the animals are raised in the great outdoors on the farms rolling pastures and fed hay during the winter months. The lean healthy Angus Beef contains no growth hormones or antibiotics. Pigs were added to the operation and enjoy their time romping and rooting in their pasture too.

Both Steve & Linda have always been concerned about the environment. They use all organic practices on their beef and fruit operations. Please check out our website for more information.
