Sterling Sports LLC is a native owned and operated business located within the Stockbridge-Munsee Reservation. Our venture into growing local foods started out with the intent to grow cleaner and healthier foods for our family. To keep up with the neighbors and locals that approached us to buy our extra produce, we kept increasing our spring plantings and our operation kept expanding each year.

In the age of factory farming where more and more mass produced crops are genetically  modified and sprayed with all sorts of chemicals, we take pride in knowing that while  our fields may have plenty of weeds growing between the rows and a few insects flying  around, that we are producing cleaner crops and in turn helping to create a cleaner future. 

On harvest days, those who drive past our farm will see a scene from Days Gone By as  our family along with a few dozen Community Members for hire hand pick our produce.  An elder from our Community told us it reminds her of the old days when the women  from our Tribe traveled to Sturgeon Bay to pick crops. Their children would often  accompany them and worked alongside them.
