Say cheers to organic farming!

We're thrilled to be “hosting” a distributed fundraiser throughout the Midwest this fall with a brand-new organic beer and menu item specials featuring produce from our beloved farmers at restaurants in Madison, Milwaukee, La Crosse, and Minneapolis.

Thomas Manley, Marbleseed’s Climate and Conservation Director, and Dylan Bruce, farmer at Circadian Organics and Marbleseed board member, helped brew an organic beer with La Crosse Distilling Co. in September, Farmony Farmhouse Ale, that is perfect for fall sipping. Tom shared his thoughts on the collaborative farmhouse ale:

“Like certain Supreme Court Justices, I like beer. I especially like a simple farmhouse ale made with quality ingredients, and that is what we set out to make. This style was traditionally made on farms, by farmers, for farmers using ingredients found or grown locally. It was hydration and calories to keep the work happening, particularly during harvest. It seems completely appropriate that a Marbleseed beer be from this tradition. La Crosse Distilling has been an awesome partner for years, so it is also appropriate that we brewed it there. They are committed to producing the best products and supporting organic farms close to home. Their values align with ours, and we are super grateful for the opportunity to do this together. I can’t wait to share a few with you all.”

You can sample this delicious brew at La Crosse Distilling through the autumn months and proceeds will go to Marbleseed. Additionally, La Crosse Distilling will be featuring fall/winter squash from Circadian Organics and Dropseed Farm on their menu and you can taste these delectable creations through the fall season.

Plus dine for a cause!

You can also support Marbleseed’s work this fall by dining at Ahan restaurant in Madison, Wis., Amilinda restaurant in Milwaukee, Wis. or Marty’s Deli in Minneapolis, Minn. during October and November. These three amazing restaurants will be running menu specials featuring fall and winter squash from organic farmers across Wisconsin and Minnesota, and proceeds from these dishes will go to Marbleseed. Thank you to Steadfast Acres , Squashington Farm , Stubborn Oak Farmstead , Philadelphia Community Farm , and Big River Farms for providing the beautiful produce for these menus.
