MAKER FEATURE

This week’s maker feature is Mike Lind, from Aspen Farm Studios.

Aspen Farm Studios is a one-person graphic design and art studio rooted in the Driftless area of southwest Wisconsin. After studying art and graphic design in college, I took a different path—spending 15 years farming vegetables and raising grass-fed beef. Eventually, I merged my two passions—art and farming—into a design and branding business that helps farmers and small businesses share their stories and creatively showcase their products. Approaching design from an artist’s perspective, I aim to bring a more handcrafted and earthy look to the digital landscape. I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with passionate, hardworking producers to craft websites, packaging, promotional materials, and more. When I’m not “plugged in,” I paint, draw or make prints, and some of my work can be seen on my website and at the VIVA Gallery in Viroqua, WI. I will be demoing linocut printing at the Meadowlark Farm & Mill Open House, which is part of the Savor the River Valley Farm Tour on April 26th, 2025.
