Meet the Producer: Terri Wilfert
Terri, along with her husband Dave, own and operate Wilfert Farms. Their family farm is located in Two Rivers, WI, just a few miles off the Lake Michigan coast. From a young age, Terri grew up raising calves and milking cows on her family’s dairy farm. She attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and earned a degree in agriculture. Together, Terri and Dave began raising vegetables over 31 years ago. Today, they offer a full line of produce from ‘A’sparagus to ‘Z’ucchini, including strawberries.
Strawberries for the jam demonstration will come directly from Wilfert Farms.
