Brown Dog Farm is a 140 acre farm located in the rolling hills of the Southwestern Wisconsin Driftless Region. Formerly McNeill
Farm, it was founded in the early 1800s and was for many years a family-owned dairy farm. When TJ and Molly bought the farm in
Fall 2012, however, it had been fallow for almost 30 years. Renamed Brown Dog Farm after TJ and Molly's two Chesapeake Bay
Retrievers, the plan is to raise fruits, vegetables and honey for Farmhouse Tavern in an organic, sustainable manner. We are
currently growing five kinds of apples, asparagus and hazelnuts for use in the restaurants. We are also harvesting the native morels,
wild grapes and black walnuts that can be found in season. This past spring, we planted an additional 35 heirloom apple, cherry and
pear trees and started our first four beehives. For 2014, the plans include an additional 20 heirloom apple trees, black raspberries,
red raspberries, currants and gooseberries, as well as more asparagus and hazelnuts.
We are also planning to expand the apiary next year, doubling in size.
TJ and Molly are working with the Prairie Enthusiasts, a non profit focused on restoration of the native Midwestern prairie.
This past year, 22 acres of pasture was reseeded with a mix of native Wisconsin grasses and flowers.
We hope to expand the prairie in the coming years.
