Stella Gardens is part of Michael Fields Agricultural Institute (MFAI), a
twenty-year-old learning center, 501(c)(3) working to revitalize our food and
farming systems by reconnecting families to local, seasonally produced, safe,
secure, healthy food. Stella Gardens instructs students from around the world in
organic/biodynamic agriculture. The hands-on training classroom encompasses more
than 600 acres and exposes students to vegetable, row crop, and dairy farming,
as well as to beekeeping, orchard management, and environmental conservation.
The classroom is managed by MFAI staff, who also give weekly agro-ecology
lectures to the students. MFAI�s Garden Student Program is sowing the seeds to
grow the next generation of family farmers.
Stella Gardens and Farm vegetable
subscriptions provide subscribers with direct market access to certified
organic, biodynamically grown, fresh produce distributed weekly to eight drop
sites in southeastern Wisconsin (East Troy, downtown Milwaukee, west Milwaukee,
Wauwatosa, Hartland, Oconomowoc, Delavan and Waukesha) throughout the growing
season. Subscribers receive a weekly supply of freshly harvested, high quality
products; newsletters with recipes and garden information, opportunity to
support the next generation of farmers, and an open invitation to visit or work
at the farm.
