Gitto Farm n Kitchen

About Us

We are the Git­to Fam­i­ly. Since embark­ing on our jour­ney of estab­lish­ing an organ­ic farm­ing oper­a­tion, our fam­i­ly has grown, and (now extend­ed) is still grow­ing! We have been blessed to raise our chil­dren and grand­chil­dren in a rur­al envi­ron­ment where they learn the val­ue of hard work and the prin­ci­ples of good stew­ard­ship of the land and resources.

Farm­ing is not an easy lifestyle. The days can be long, the weath­er can dis­rupt your plans, and the mar­ket for your prod­ucts is rarely pre­dictable. On the oth­er hand, it has been a reward­ing way to live and work togeth­er as a fam­i­ly, pro­duc­ing healthy foods that we have been proud to offer to our local com­mu­ni­ty. Our farm­ing adven­ture had its roots in an organ­ic dairy oper­a­tion. We soon saw the need to diver­si­fy into oth­er areas of organ­ic agri­cul­ture and food pro­duc­tion, as a source of extra income and a hedge against mar­ket uncer­tain­ty in the dairy indus­try. The rich, pes­ti­cide/her­bi­cide- free soil on our farm allowed us to grow a num­ber of organ­ic veg­eta­bles that we could sell to our prospec­tive cus­tomers and also sus­tain our own family’s health. Through farmer’s mar­kets, we were able to offer a vari­ety of nutri­tious organ­ic veg­eta­bles to a grow­ing num­ber of sat­is­fied customers.

Our next fam­i­ly endeav­or was pro­duc­ing tor­tillas! We start­ed out small, with equip­ment that enabled us to make just a few hun­dred tor­tillas in a full day’s work. We pro­duced only enough for sale at the local farm­ers’ mar­kets. As the word spread about the qual­i­ty and taste of our organ­ic tor­tillas, sev­er­al local stores asked if we could sup­ply them with our tor­tillas. This prompt­ed the deci­sion to build a com­mer­cial kitchen facil­i­ty on our farm. Long sto­ry short: our ful­ly equipped, organ­i­cal­ly-cer­ti­fied kitchen now enables us to pro­duce sev­er­al thou­sand packs of tor­tillas (6 tortillas/​pack) in a day! Our line of organ­ic tor­tillas can now be found in a num­ber of well-known gro­ceries and whole-food co-ops in the Madi­son, Mil­wau­kee, and Chica­go areas.

Git­to Farm n Kitchen is USDA Cer­ti­fied Organ­ic. We also receive rou­tine cer­ti­fi­ca­tion inspec­tions through Nature’s Inter­na­tion­al Cer­ti­fi­ca­tion Ser­vices. This is an organ­ic cer­ti­fi­ca­tion agency found­ed to serve organ­ic pro­duc­ers nation­wide with their cer­ti­fi­ca­tion needs.

Over the last sev­er­al years, as our chil­dren have con­tin­ued to get mar­ried and leave (though not far away!), we’ve found it nec­es­sary to stop pro­duc­ing veg­eta­bles. This did­n’t change our orig­i­nal objec­tive: to pro­duce healthy, nutri­tious food for a base of cus­tomers who would share our ideas and val­ues con­cern­ing the advan­tages and ben­e­fits of such food, for their fam­i­lies. In an age of huge, cor­po­rate farms and high­ly processed foods, we believe it is worth the time and effort to: 1) bring more basic, whole­some foods to dis­cern­ing cus­tomers and 2) con­tribute to sus­tain­ing the land, the fam­i­ly farm, and a sense of com­mu­ni­ty sup­port for one anoth­er. Our goal will always be to bring you the best From Our Fam­i­ly Farm to Your Fam­i­ly Table!

About Our Products

Our Tortillas: They are certified organic, and the most versatile, thin, and addictively flavorful tortillas you will ever find. We produce them in three varieties... Whole Wheat, White, and Spelt. We bake them with literally only a handful of simple ingredients (flour, vinegar, sunflower oil, baking soda, and salt) plus water. They must be kept refrigerated since they contain NO preservatives. When refrigerated, they will keep well for up to a month. They may also be frozen, and then will last indefinitely. (But that only happens if you forget about them; otherwise, they're so versatile and tasty that you're bound to use them up quickly!)

Organic grass-fed beef: We raise our animals on our certified organic farm in Watertown. With proper management of our soil and grasses using a rotational grazing plan, we are able to raise healthy, well-developed cattle that will translate into delicious, nutritious, top-quality beef for you and your family.

Recently, we have also added value-added beef products to the list of healthy foods that we are making available to the public. Our Specialty Meat Products include lean ground beef, four kinds of beef sticks, German landjaeger, summer sausages, ring bologna, brats, and wieners.

Bulk sales (quarters and halves) of beef are also available, for those folks wanting to stock their freezers with healthy, grass-fed meat for their family. Ordering this way will reduce your overall cost, compared to buying various cuts of meat piecemeal at your local grocer.
