We will be staying at Moonwise Herbs Farmstead in Edgarton,WI. This 1.25 acre property is a permaculture farm located on the edge of town. We raise rabbits, chickens, ducks, bees and many herbs, as well as vegetables to the already established gardens. There is some wooded space on the property and the surrounding area has much to explore. This is a newly acquired property and so we will be working together to add beauty and function, the wise woman way.
