We are dedicated to bringing fresh, delicious food to local communities.

Moody Root Farm is run by Hannah Alden, who has been farming in different capacities since 2019. She started out working on an organic vegetable CSA and market farm near Madison after a short career in small-town journalism. After a few years of learning there, Hannah and her husband, Tyler, went searching for a piece of land to call their own and ended up in north-central Wisconsin just outside of Dorchester.

Hannah spent three seasons on her first farm attempting to rehab the land, which had been conventionally cropped for years prior, and selling produce at markets and through a small CSA program that primarily served Northwoods customers. With Hannah’s family’s roots in the Lake Tomahawk area, she was quick to act when she found out a vegetable farm outside of Rhinelander was up for sale in 2025. The new Moody Root Farm, located in Sugar Camp, will be a much better fit for the type of operation Hannah has always envisioned – something a bit more tucked away and peaceful. (Having better soils, field drainage and farm infrastructure will also help tremendously.)

Being a good steward of the land has always been one of Hannah’s main priorities alongside offering healthy, delicious food and telling the story of small-scale agriculture. Cover crops, low tillage, pollinator protection and organic methods are all a part of how she farms. Moody Root Farm will continue to operate similarly to years past, with focuses on spring plant sales and seasonal vegetable offerings. The new location’s on-site farmstand will be the primary way for local folks to purchase items next season. Stay tuned for more information as we get closer to spring 2026!

Hannah looks forward to another season of getting to know local eaters, tuning in to her new land and immersing herself in area communities. She is extremely grateful to Tyler for his willingness to take on another challenge and her family, friends and customers for supporting this new chapter!
