Our Story
Unconventional Acres, LLC is a small, pasture-based farm focusing on beef, pork, and free range eggs. Ben and Mel, husband and wife, own and operate the farm. Unconventional Acres is located in the driftless area in southwestern Wisconsin among the beautiful wooded rolling hills. The 80 acres farm is divided between grass pasture and forest. Cattle and goats are rotationally grazed throughout the spring and summer months. Hogs are forest-raised. Ben and Mel are currently cleaning up the woods to develop the area into a healthy oak savanna to allow additional rotation and grazing for the cattle and goats. Our vision is to use regenerative agriculture techniques to provide our livestock with a humane, stress-free environment while restoring the health to our land.
