Krystian and Monika Weglarz own Back 2 Basics Family Farm, a 40-acre organic farm (leasing an additional 80 acres) in the heart of Wisconsin, just 45 minutes North of the Wisconsin Dells. Throughout the year they raise many kinds of animals - bees, turkeys, ducks and broiler chickens are typically raised only during the warmer season while lamb, beef and eggs are available year around. Their goal is to raise their animals in a humane way, feeding them organic feed and providing them with plenty of space and sunshine. Through rotational grazing, animals are moved regularly to fresh pastures, ensuring they have access to a variety of diets and helping to bring soil back to life in a natural way. Among some of their other products are honey, dehydrated dog treats, herbal teas, and beef tallow - all grown, raised and made on their farm.
Krystian is the nephew of Janusz and Danuta Lesniak, who were featured in the first episode of this series. Krystian is originally from Zakopane, Poland, and immigrated to the United States with his family when he was 12 years old. Monika came by herself from Pilsen, Czech Republic when she was 19 years old. They were married in 2002. Shortly after they purchased their house in the Chicago suburbs, they bought a few chickens to start their little backyard farm. They always dreamed of being able to raise their children closer to nature and grow their own food in a healthy and humane way. This became a reality in 2015, when the family relocated from Illinois to Wisconsin. That summer, they began to transform their new place from a hobby horse farm into an organic farm. The land needed a lot of work and a lot of the property is wooded, but over the years the family found ways to improve their farm.
Krystian is a full time teacher and a soccer coach in a local high school. Monika has a teaching degree in elementary education, has homeschooled their kids and also works part-time in a local family dinner theater. The children are hard-working teenagers who help with the farm work while attending school and working in a local dinner theater as hired musicians.
