Felix Zeloski Farms, located in Eagle River, Wisconsin, is nestled in the middle of the world’s largest inland chain of lakes. It supports a tremendous amount of wildlife as well as natural scenic beauty. Antigo native Dennis Zeloski took over the family business from his father, Felix M. Zeloski in 1973. For the past 13 years the Eagle
River farm has been managed by Ron Krueger, who oversees the growing of 1,100 acres of certified seed potatoes, certified seed oats, soybeans and other small grains. Numerous varieties make up the 275 acres of certified
seed potatoes, including Goldrush, Mazama, MegaChip, Norland
