Airy Point Farms: Locally Raised Beef and Blooming Beauty

A Family Farm Steeped in Tradition and Sustainability

A Passion for Regenerative Agriculture

Nestled in the rolling hills of Saint Cloud, Wisconsin, Airy Point Farms is a family-owned oasis where sustainable practices, community, and a love for the land converge. Established by Derek and Nicole Sippel, this farm is a testament to their unwavering commitment to ethical, regenerative agriculture.

The Sippel family's journey began when they met as fellow Badgers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Derek, a dairy and crop farmer by trade, and Nicole, a Certified Veterinary Nurse, shared a vision of creating a haven where they could nurture both the land and their growing family. After settling near Derek's family dairy farm, they began to transform their hobby farm, introducing a menagerie of animals, from fainting goats to a miniature pony, and diving headfirst into the world of giant pumpkin growing.

Locally Raised Beef: A Taste of Tradition

At the heart of Airy Point Farms lies their passion for raising high-quality, locally sourced beef. The Sippels take great pride in managing their Angus cross herd using regenerative and ethical practices, resulting in beef that is unparalleled in its marbling and tenderness. These steers spend their entire lives within a few miles of the farm, a true testament to the "local, slow food" movement.

Customers can purchase 1/4, 1/2, or whole beef shares, with the meat processed at the premium Salchert's Meat Market just down the road in the village of Saint Cloud. Each share offers a bounty of cuts, including steaks, roasts, ground beef, and more. By supporting Airy Point Farms, customers are not only enjoying exceptional beef but also contributing to the success of two small, family-owned businesses.

Blooming Beauty: Locally Grown Flowers and Floral Designs

Airy Point Farms' passion for agriculture extends beyond their beef operation, as they have recently expanded into the world of locally grown flowers. Recognizing the demand for unique, sustainably sourced blooms, the Sippels have dedicated themselves to Locally and Lovingly Growing the Art of Agriculture.

Throughout the spring and summer months, the farm's vibrant fields burst with an array of seasonal flowers, from cheerful sunflowers to elegant dahlias. Visitors can explore the self-serve farmstand, stocked daily with fresh-cut bouquets and other locally produced goods. For those seeking a more immersive experience, the farm offers a variety of workshops and events, including bouquet-building classes and farm-to-table dinners.

Weddings and Events: Locally Sourced Floral Designs

Airy Point Farms' commitment to local, sustainable agriculture also shines through in their floral design services for weddings and events. Brides and event planners can work closely with the Sippel family to create custom floral installations, bouquets, and arrangements that showcase the true art of agriculture.

The farm's locally grown flowers, with their unique colors, textures, and blooms, are designed to showcase the beauty of the season and the region. By partnering with Airy Point Farms, couples can ensure that their special day is filled with flowers that were grown just for them, supporting small, family-owned businesses in the process.

Embracing the Community and the Land

At Airy Point Farms, the Sippel family's dedication to their community and the land they steward is palpable. They actively engage with local businesses, organizations, and residents, hosting events and workshops that bring people together to celebrate the bounty of the region.
