A Vibrant Tapestry of Family, Faith, and Farming: Discover Country Roots Creations
Nestled in the Scenic Southwestern Wisconsin Countryside
Welcome to Country Roots Creations, where the Broughton family's legacy of 5 generations of farmers meets a vibrant tapestry of family, faith, and farming. Situated in the picturesque rolling hills of Southwestern Wisconsin, this family-owned operation is a true testament to the enduring spirit of rural America.
Led by Reid and Heather Broughton, along with their three young children, Country Roots Creations is a multifaceted agritourism destination that celebrates the beauty and bounty of the changing seasons. From the moment you step onto their sprawling property, you'll be captivated by the perfect blend of modern innovation and time-honored traditions that permeate every aspect of this remarkable farm.
Embracing Sustainable Practices for a Brighter Future
As stewards of the land, the Broughtons take great pride in their commitment to sustainable and ethical farming practices. Their corn, soybean, and small grain fields are meticulously maintained using no-till planting, crop rotation, and cover crops – all part of a responsible conservation plan that preserves the soil for generations to come. Beyond their row crops, the farm also raises steers from calves to finish for market, ensuring a diverse and self-sufficient operation.
Autumn's Vibrant Tapestry: Mums, Pumpkins, and Corn Mazes
While the Broughtons excel at producing a bountiful harvest of traditional crops, their true passion shines through in the seasonal market they've created. As the crisp, cool air of autumn sweeps across the Midwest, Country Roots Creations transforms into a veritable wonderland of fall splendor.
Rows of vibrant, mid-size garden chrysanthemums and asters burst forth in early September, their brilliant hues adding a touch of warmth to any autumn décor. Alongside these stunning blooms, the farm offers a diverse selection of pumpkins, gourds, and squash – perfect for carving, painting, or simply displaying as part of your seasonal display.
But the true crown jewel of the autumn season is the family-friendly corn maze. Spanning a full acre, this interactive labyrinth provides endless hours of fun and exploration for visitors of all ages. As they navigate the twists and turns, guests can test their skills with engaging games like "What's Missing from the Castle?" and the "Autumn Chicken Search," adding an extra layer of excitement to their experience.
Winter Wonderland: Fresh-Cut Trees, Handcrafted Wreaths, and Evergreen Classes
As the leaves fall and the first snowflakes begin to drift, Country Roots Creations shifts its focus to the magic of the winter season. Starting on Black Friday, the farm opens its fresh-cut tree lot, offering a stunning selection of Balsam and Fraser pine trees in a variety of heights to suit any holiday display.
But the Broughtons' creativity doesn't stop there. Heather, the family's resident crafter, spends countless hours handmaking beautiful wreaths, garlands, and porch pots, each one a unique work of art. For those looking to unleash their own creative flair, Heather also offers evergreen classes on-site, teaching groups of 10 or more the art of crafting stunning holiday décor.
Custom Creations and Personalized Gifts
In addition to their thriving agritourism ventures, the Broughtons have also harnessed their creative talents to launch Country Roots Creations – a custom design and apparel business. From t-shirts and hoodies to porch signs and personalized gifts, Heather's eye for design and attention to detail shine through in every piece, making each item a truly one-of-a-kind treasure.
Embracing Community and Sharing the Joys of Farm Life
At the heart of Country Roots Creations lies a deep-rooted commitment to community and a desire to share the joys of farm life with others. The Broughtons regularly open their doors to homeschool families, inviting them to explore the corn maze and connect with like-minded individuals in a serene, outdoor setting. They also welcome businesses and groups for weekday or after-hours visits, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the tranquil beauty of the farm.
