Badger Farms: A Picturesque Oasis in the Wisconsin Countryside
Nestled in the Serene Landscapes of Deerfield, Wisconsin
A Family Legacy Rooted in Farming and Hospitality
Badger Farms, LLC is a beloved, family-owned agricultural event venue and working farm, just minutes from the vibrant city of Madison. Since opening its doors in 2006, this remarkable property has become a cherished destination for couples seeking the perfect barn wedding, businesses hosting memorable corporate retreats, and the local community celebrating life's most important milestones.
Owned and operated by Dave and Betsy Muehl, Badger Farms has deep roots in Wisconsin's rich farming heritage. The couple's passion for the land and their commitment to sustainable practices have transformed this 500-acre property into a true agritourism gem. From the moment you arrive, you'll be captivated by the breathtaking natural beauty that surrounds you - rolling hay fields, picturesque ponds, and towering oak trees that seem to whisper the stories of generations past.
Rustic Elegance Meets Modern Amenities
At the heart of Badger Farms lies the stunning 1920s barn, meticulously restored to preserve its historic charm while seamlessly integrating state-of-the-art amenities. Step inside the grand, double-door entryway and you'll be greeted by custom-designed hardwood floors, rustic log staircases, and a vaulted ceiling that floods the space with natural light. An attached deck overlooking the serene countryside offers a perfect spot to soak in the magical sunsets.
Adjacent to the barn, you'll find the Badger Farms' Shop - a large, open-concept pavilion with a towering ceiling, chandeliers, and a concrete floor that's perfect for hosting receptions, dinners, and corporate events. Equipped with in-floor radiant heating and air conditioning, the Shop provides a comfortable, all-weather setting for any occasion.
Sustainable Practices and Community Involvement
Badger Farms is not just a picturesque event venue - it's also a thriving working farm that plays a vital role in the local agricultural community. The majority of the property's 500 acres are dedicated to growing high-quality marsh hay, which is then sold to area farmers, horse enthusiasts, and construction companies throughout the year.
The Muehl family is deeply committed to sustainable farming practices and environmental stewardship. From recycling cans and glass to incorporating energy-efficient radiant heating systems, Badger Farms is continuously finding ways to reduce its carbon footprint and preserve the land for future generations.
Beyond their farming operations, the Muehl family is actively involved in the Deerfield community, hosting local events and supporting charitable initiatives. Their dedication to creating a welcoming, inclusive space has made Badger Farms a beloved gathering place for weddings, corporate retreats, family reunions, and so much more.
