I asked this question in the Intentional Community and probably should have put it here instead;

is there anyone around the Hillsboro area of Wisconsin? Considering relocating to that area and I am looking for information on organic (not certified) farming and construction related opportunities there. I'm not interested in looking at chamber of commerce stuff or reading website info, I want to talk with people who actually live and farm/garden there.  I'd like to hear your opinions/experiences with the growing seasons and what kind of Winters that area has. What the watering situation is like(can I rely on rain at all in the Summer or will I have to water everyday). Also, what kinds pests/ beneficial critters are there, how well fruit trees and other types fruits grow especially strawberries and raspberries.. Is the season good enough to grow mature sweet corn and determinate tomatoes outside of a greenhouse etc. And if anyone is looking for help this season on their farm, I am interested in finding somewhere to do that while looking for a farm to move onto...
