Please send me questions and I will add them as they come in. I want you to know what and how the products are produced on The G Farm.
Could I come and see the Animals?
I would love to have you out to the farm. I have store hours for you to stop by and purchase items. When you stop out, just ask to see some animals and I will happily show or even let you help in some chores. I am a busy farmer working to make a living as a farmer, this is not done easily so please respect my time. The G Farm will have seasonal events open to the public. This is a great time to learn the management processes that are practiced. The events will be advertised via email and other outlets, but if you are a Facebook follower, you may not see the posting as Facebook’s policy requires me to pay for viability even though you chose to follow.
What does the G stand for?
Life is a journey, and this is part of mine. I was born and raised on a diary farm in my adolescence. And through the ups and downs of farming in the 80’s my parents divorced. My Mom then moved to Appleton from Manawa and had re-married. After several years My Step-Dad had adopted myself and my two younger sisters. This is when I had become a Duell. In continuing the journey, I have been reacquainted with my biological father. I am not going to change my name again and feel that it is just part of who I am today. In naming the farm My intentions were to name the farm after my birth name, Gartzke. So now the legal name of the farm is called “Gartzke Farms LLC”. Before I owned the property I had began making syrup and selling it, as I was collecting checks I was often asked how to spell it, so It was a pretty easy decision to make one more change. So for marketing and branding purposes The G Farm was born.
Do you have a delivery program and where do you do deliveries?
Each Tuesday of the week there will be a drop off available. A Farmer will travel to your house, neighbors house, or your employer to deliver your ordered goods. There is no charge. You need to order online to start the process. When you have completed the payment and if you have instructions to deliver somewhere other than your home address, all you need to do is email justin@theg.farm to give additional instructions. You need to have a cooler outside for the drop off if you are gone, or a freezer that is accessible. Zip codes that I will deliver to no questions asked include but are not limited to include these zip codes. This is called The G Farm Foodshed.

How can I help on the farm.
I am always up to something. And will gladly put you to work if you wish to volunteer some time to the farm. There are often things such as painting, baling, processing, planting and so much more. If you have an area of expertise or an inkling to learn about something send me an email and a timeline in which you would be willing to be available.

Will you come and speak in front of a group?
I am happy to come and speak at an event or a group locally for no cost. I have quite a few topics I could share and quite possibly could create a presentation that would fit the venue. Send me an email and we can talk about it.
