About Us

A unique part of the Bayfield experience for more than thirty years .... Highland Valley Farm was established when we settled near Bayfield to raise a family in 1977. A knowledge of beekeeping and honey production we brought with us. We were introduced to raspberry horticulture by our Bayfield predecessors. Blueberry production we pioneered by establishing the first commercial planting of newly developed winter-hardy blueberry varieties in northern Wisconsin. The production of Maple Syrup is our most recent enterprise addition.

Over the years we have become recognized for our efforts in promoting sustainable agriculture, for our stewardship of the land, horticultural innovations, and superb products. We enjoy sharing the beauty of Bayfield and the bounty of our crops with the many people who visit Highland Valley Farm every year.
