Will There Be A New Future For Zinniker Farm?

In 1943, Mark’s grandfather moved the family from Glencoe, IL to Elkhorn, WI to begin a new journey as a biodynamic farmer. The Zinniker family farm is the oldest biodynamic farm in America – this is an amazing legacy.  As we approach the 80th year, the Zinniker Family Farm is at a crossroads.

Traditionally, now would be the time that the kids would start taking over the leadership, allowing Mark and Petra to take a more mentorship role. But as the younger generation grows up, they too are at a crossroads, and it is unlikely that they will continue their family legacy.  

We are now faced with the real possibility that the Zinniker Family Farm may die out unless we as a community help to make it financially viable.

Family farms all over the country are facing these same issues. 

Hazel and I, feel inspired to help create a new future for the Farm.  We hope you will join us; with your help the Zinniker Family Farm will thrive into the future.
