Agriculture: Siverling Centennial Farm, affectionately known as SCF, is owned by Jared Siverling and Vanessa Klemish (fellow YP member). They purchased SCF in 2019 but it has been in the Siverling family since 1914. The family farm in Bloomer, Wisconsin is approximately 320 acres of USDA-certified organic field crops, rotationally pastured beef, and vegetables grown using organic practices.  At SCF, we believe in the importance of small family farms and growing local quality food for people and animals.  The first step to this is taking care of the land and having healthy soil.  We use organic practices, non-GMO seed, do not spray hazardous chemicals on our crops or land, and we work to reduce tillage where possible.  SCF tries our best to produce healthy food and to leave the land better than we found it.
