Our Farm

The family farm has been ripped from many of our family narratives. Our children don’t have Grandma and Grandpa or Aunt and Uncle to visit at the farm anymore. Maybe you never did either. As a result food is something from the grocery store. Nature on YouTube is as real as it gets. Visions of our children running wild and free are contained to cement padded playgrounds. We know something is off but don’t know how to fix it. 

We’ve been blessed to keep this farm in our family for six generations. Every day, we experience the beauty and purpose of the family farm, and we want to share that blessing with you. This is a place for your children—and their children—to connect with food, animals, the soil, and God. That connection is why the farm is still here, and why we’re doing everything we can to preserve it for the great-great-grandkids.

OUR HISTORY

The story of Cuff Farms began in 1849 when Alexander Cuff immigrated from County Sligo, Ireland, and purchased 100 acres in Hortonia, Wisconsin. Over the generations, the farm has adapted to meet each family's needs—shifting crops, livestock, and approaches while always staying rooted in family and faith.

Today, George (Sandy) Jr. and Lois Cuff—along with their daughter and son-in-law, Maggie and Alex Sudbrink—are stewarding the land and sharing its gifts through high-quality food and agritourism experiences.

Sandy and his brother Jim grew up farming with their father, George Sr., raising pigs and cows and growing crops. In 1960, George Sr. dug a pond and, by 1962, began planting strawberries. The pick-your-own strawberry business took root in the 1970s when Jim returned home after college and helped establish it more firmly.

Lois joined the farm in 1986 when she and Sandy were married. As a school principal in the late 1980s, she saw an opportunity to invite local schools to the farm to pick pumpkins. That idea blossomed and continues to grow.

Now, Maggie and Alex are adding new chapters to the story. While strawberries and pumpkins remain seasonal favorites, we’ve expanded into pastured pork and poultry, wood-fired pizza nights, a certified kitchen with homemade goods, and farm-to-table events.

We currently steward about 250 acres, including land from the original homestead. We grow corn, oats, rye, soybeans, asparagus, and hay. Jim Cuff still plays a vital role, providing abundant produce from his gardens and crafting his famous pickled goods.

WHY WE DO THIS

We are deeply grateful to provide our community with quality food and real farm experiences. We believe that knowing your food, your farmer, and your farm changes everything. We believe local, responsibly raised food can transform our community—and we’re honored to have you on this journey with us.
