Peninsula Pride Farms
The goal of this project is to improve water quality and soil health in an area of Southern Door and Kewaunee counties where a group of conservation-minded farmers are learning together and implementing practices to make a difference. This will be done by engaging farmer members of Peninsula Pride Farms (PPF) and their partners in utilizing tools and data to increase knowledge and maximize the benefits of on-farm conservation work.

Engagement Targets
Notes: (1) Minor fluctuations in the number of retained growers is expected from year to year. These fluctuations may be due to year-over-year crop rotation effects or other factors beyond the control of the project. Enrolled acres represent the total number of acres on an individual farm in a specific year. The ability to report enrolled acres is based on the Fieldprint Project Standard requirement that individual growers enrolled in projects enter at least 10% of the acres managed for a specific crop. (2) Entered acres represent the actual number of enrolled acres for which data is entered in the Fieldprint Platform for analysis.
Objectives
Engage members.
Engage 10-20 Peninsula Pride Farm members in this project in year 1.
Final Report - The project completed data collection for crop years 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023. The original goal was to get a minimum of 10 growers enrolled in the project, for crop year 2023 there were 11 farms enrolled. The project in 2023 had an enrollment of 28,887 acres which the Board felt was very successful. The Peninsula Pride Farms Board with support from Farmers for Sustainable Food, has been the lead on the project and enrolling additional participants. The Peninsula Pride Farms Board in March of 2025 decided to end the project after 4 years of participation. this was based on 1) having four years of data will allow them to establish FTM claims in four of the five categories including participation, adoption, measurement, and trends.
Final outcomes for the project included:
- Data collected and analyzed for crop year 202, 2021, 2022, and 2023
- 11 enrolled farms
- 28,837 enrolled acres
- Metrics developed for alfalfa, corn grain, corn silage, soybeans and wheat
- Individual farmer meetings to review scores in each of the first three years of the project
- 4 farmer to farmer to meetings
- 4 annual reports which provided aggregated and anonymized results that could be used to communicate sustainability in the community
