HEALEY’S WHOLESOME HAVEN

W1838 St. Peter’s Road

East Troy, WI 53120

(262) 642-3677

The Healey family started their business 25 years ago, determined not to use chemicals or pesticides on their 42-acre property.

“This is not a business, truly. It is a mission of love, to provide wholesome products for those who ache for simpler times and healthier food in its natural state (land, rain, sun and hard work),” said owner Sue Healey.

The farm features 25 acres of pastureland, which the Healeys have used to raise beef cattle for the past eight years. Their gardens are now mostly strawberries and sugar snap peas.

“Our motto is to raise things the way God intended, simply and wholesomely, thus our LLC: Healey’s Wholesome Haven,” she explained. “We are small and desire to remain so, to keep our lives simple, which I believe is the key to joy and peace.”

Must-have market items: Grassfed beef (beef sticks, misc. steaks); chemical free seasonal produce and a few baked goods using items from the farm
