our history

Seeking the American Dream, the first Klessigs arrived in America in 1848 and carved a 160-acre homestead from Wisconsin's wilderness. Fueled by passion and perseverance, they embraced a future deep-rooted in tradition, social responsibility and a love of the land. Thus begins the legacy of Saxon Homestead Farm and the Klessig family, one that continues to endure a century and a half later with the family's fifth and sixth generations.
