Our 40 acre property has been certified organic since the inception of the National Organic Program in 1999.

Our Family and Business
We are a family owned and operated business. George and Sandy Kohn bought the farm in 1993 and immediately began organically managing and building the soil. West Star Farm began by providing high quality organic produce to local restaurants and markets.
In 2004, Randy and Tanya Kohn, together with their three daughters, purchased the 1.1 acre home that is inset into the farm property. This allowed them to take a more active role in the day to day management and operation of West Star Farm.
West Star Farm has been growing organic transplants for over 20 years. We have grown transplants for our own fields, other farmers fields, wholesale/retail, and research programs for UW-Madison. In 2012, West Star Organics was born out of West Star Farm and the sole focus of our business transitioned to our greenhouse/nursery operations. We expanded our greenhouse capacity, created a Garden Center Market on the farm, and focused our efforts on making our certified organic plants the best, most successful plants available.
