Martice Scales and Amy Kroll-Scales founded Full Circle Healing Farm in 2017, leaving stable
career paths to start healing their community from the ground up.
Full Circle Healing Farm is a two-acre vegetable, herb, and flower farm in Mequon. The farm is
located on the Fondy Farm at the Mequon Nature Preserve, a 40-acre incubator farm that has
the mission of providing affordable, long-term leases to historically underserved producers.
Martice and Amy started their farming journey on a quarter acre at Fondy Farm and have grown
each year since.
While Martice and Amy enjoy selling at farmers markets, their true passion is growing food for
people in need in their community. In 2023 and 2024, Martice and Amy received contracts
through the Wisconsin Local Food Purchase Assistance (WI LFPA) Program to grow food for
food access organizations.
WI LFPA is strengthening food systems in Wisconsin by awarding farmers and community
partners grants to grow fresh, nutritious food that is picked up and distributed to hunger relief
partners throughout Wisconsin and provided to underserved communities at no charge. Martice
and Amy founded their farm on the same kind of values, and they’ve been working to feed food
insecure people in their community.
“Equitable food access and battling food apartheid is really important and I think WI LFPA is
doing a really good job to address that,” Amy said.
