We are committed to ecologically friendly farming practices. In fact, we practice what we call 'Extreme Ecoagriculture'. Wetlands are some of the planet's most biodiverse ecosystems. They function as nature's filters, detoxifying and purifying surface water. We are dedicated to farming in harmony with our wetlands. While other farms destroy wetlands to make room for cropland, we take advantage of ours with a >1:1 wetland to farmland ratio! Some of our crops are grown next to wetlands while others are grown directly in the wetlands. Our produce benefits by growing in this nutrient-rich environment. Needless-to-say, all of our produce is organic. We never use chemicals to grow any of our crops.

For 100 years, our family has passed down a delicious strain of garlic from generation to generation. At Leiber Farms, we are continuing this family tradition and, for the first time, making our garlic available to the public. It is an easy to peel, hardneck garlic. A lot of care goes into the growing process; we plant and pick each plant by hand. After tasting our garlic, you will see why so much effort was spent preserving it.

Over the next few years, we will be expanding our supply to create commercially viable quanities.

 

Maple syrup flavor is influenced by region. Most syrup is produced in Canada and Vermont and has a common taste. Southeast Wisconsin has relatively few maple syrup producers, with Leiber Farms being the largest privately owned maple farm in Racine county. Our maple syrup has a very sweet flavor that some have compared to honey and unlike anything you will find at the grocery store.

It takes 40 gallons of sap to make 1 gallon of syrup. We tap our maples with stainless steel spouts. Sap is collected from each tree by hand. Most syrup producers boil sap using firewood, giving the syrup a slightly smokey or 'robust' flavor. At Leiber Farms, we use a smokeless method to produce syrup. The end result is simply sweet.

Very few have tried our syrup, as we then turn it into Pure Maple Sugar! Sugar can be purchased directly from our farm. Please email us if interested.
