Ellsworth & the Pierce County Farming Community
Ellsworth is the Pierce County seat and the self-proclaimed Cheese Curd Capital of Wisconsin — a community deeply rooted in dairy farming and the agricultural traditions of the rolling hills landscape of Pierce County. The area’s farms, pastures, and woodlots are productive assets that benefit from professional brush management.
Aspen Land Management serves Ellsworth-area farmers and rural landowners with professional forestry mulching — clearing fence lines, reclaiming overgrown pastures, and managing invasive species across Pierce County’s agricultural landscape.
