About
Established in 2014 with family in mind. Buck set out to get back to his roots, farming.
Buck continues to work with Meade's Concrete and has been doing so for 25 years.
Since birth Buck was helping his Mom and Dad on their dairy farm located on HWY 60 currently owned by the Zeman's. Buck's toddler hand prints can be seen today etched in the concrete of the Zeman shop (maybe this was where his concrete work began).
Buck's love of farming began on his grandparent's farms, Roman & Nancy Hellenbrand's dairy farm in the Town of Lodi, and Carl & Jennette Kurt's dairy and pork farm in the Town of Dane. Buck recalls many memories of falling in to the pig pen and being saved by Grandpa and the morning trek to the milk house to grab fresh milk for the family. His most favorite thing to do on the farm was bailing hay. He enjoyed this because it was a whole day event and every family member participated.
Mom and Dad (Keith & Karen Kurt) had a big impact on how Buck learned to garden. Buck loved planting and working from the ground up. When living on the Kurt Farm, Mom and Dad had a garden that they would tend to and one would see them harvesting, caring and nurturing the plants that would feed their growing family. Canning vegetables is hard work but we did it together. Seeing where your food comes from and knowing the work we put in to have fresh green beans or corn over the winter is a great feeling. Creating something from seed that you grow to produce something edible that nourishes the body and that can feed people is wonderful.
We are proud to work hard to better our community, by providing a trustworthy product from people they know.
It keeps our family growing.
Without a supportive family Buck would not be able to return to his roots.
His amazing wife, Karen, supports him every step of the way and you can see their children, Skyler, Olivia and Trinity,
stepping up and lending a helping hand.

What is CSA?
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a way to buy local food directly from a farmer. You purchase a “share” and become a farm “member.” The farm provides a box of vegetables and/or other farm products to you on a weekly or bi-weekly basis throughout the growing season. Pick-up occurs on Saturdays at the farm from Noon-3pm. Special accommodations can be made just let us know.
Buck's Garden also has a choose-your-own option if you do not wish to participate in a share. We have a first-come-first-serve produce stand located across from the Lodi EMS building. Where we will have surplus fruits and vegetables available to purchase throughout the growing season.
People who want to participate in the CSA will sign up with Buck's Garden in advance of the growing season, this helps us plan for the season ahead and cover the initial annual costs of farm operation.
Along with farm-fresh food, other benefits include knowing your farmer does not use chemicals that impact the soil. Opportunity to visit the farm
CSA supports a sustainable farming system that connects farmers directly with consumers and ensures a fair price for farm products.
