Our Farmers: Ed & Diane Westra

Mammoth Produce was started by Ed as a teenager. After marrying in 1976, he and Diane began selling at the Dane County Farmers’ Market. The farm’s name came later, after mammoth remains were found on-site. We raise cabbage, kohlrabi, broccoli, cauliflower, peppers, and eggplant.
